Yes - I think it's only worth starting to make changes like this
if someone develops a consistent style and applies it consistently,
for all messages. URLs vs URL's is a different matter, it's a
correction.
Btw. the various *.po files now available are all based on a very
early lynx.pot (from one of the first 2.8.3dev.Ns, more or less
the same as 2.8.2, it seems), although they claim to be 2.8.3.
They'll be out of date when 2.8.3 comes out. Should we encourage
translators to update their translations now? How?
