True, but professional documentation needs to be coherent in spelling at
least IMHO.

Since MMBase classes are named in American english
(org.mmbase.security.Authorization), I think it's best to stick with
that. It's a bit weird to have a document about 'Authorisation' where
you refer to the 'Authorization' class.
