Thanks - let's try it for a few pages to warm up.

A agree. So far I made a small PHP test, several sites do not support
it. We have to stay in plain HTML.

Yes, I have. In general several pages have to be merged and simplified.
And a better hierarchy is needed. I'll try to rewrite the main page

docs and data links at left, logo in upper left corner, page contents
in the center surrounded by the menus, all stuff in tables).
