usually not, but I think this is an exception and since we haven't started the
translation yet, I changed it in trunk, in the tagged version and the pdf. 

I changed quite a lot in that chapter to make the projection part hopefully
clearer and it would be great, if some people can have a closer look at the
chapter "Working with Projections" pp. 71. and check if I haven't made any 
mistakes. You find the PDF here:
