Hmm, this conclusion is not necessarily correct: For example,
many Linux applications look for a system and a personal
configuration file, and it's usually ok if one or both are
missing.
I didn't know that. Sorry.
(But, I would perhaps have put such calls in a if sentence I think.
(if found the else something other) )
I think this is exactly the way how a browser is expected to do it:
if stylesheet X exists then read stylesheet X endif
if stylesheet Y exists then read stylesheet Y endif
etc.
Agree! Don't know how in a short expression. Have not studied the
sequences in the html code.
I had a quick look at the HTML and CSS specifications, and didn't find
anything about missing stylesheet files. So I still don't know if a
missing CSS is an error. Just the implication
missing file ==> error
seemed to be wrong to me.
It looks I was too strict ;-) Never to late to learn something new. In
the future I do not bother if some unnecessary style sheets are missing.
But since browsers handle missing CSS gracefully and the users don't
recognize it, I think it's more likely not an error.
A matter of definition. The program I uses to check the links (a W3.org
duplicate) are programmed to look at it as an error. But as said before,
this is more a matter of taste than a problem. Except perhaps for some
perfectionists?
I still think that the average users of the manual doesn't bother
about the stylesheets at all.
That's definitely true.
More exactly: probably more than 99% of the users don't care...
unless we make the background pink! ;-)
Interesting background
When I am putting together a web site for other people they do not
allways even know what I am speaking of if I mentions html or css.
PHP is perhaps the name of some sweets :-)
So if broken links are normally programming habit in Linux, I do of
course have to follow this habit. Even though I do not agree.
Well, broken links are always a certain problem. But not every missing
file is a broken (link or a problem). Some files are just optional.
(BTW, the same is true for your personal gimp config files in
$HOME/.gimp-2.6.)

Nice. Was not aware of this.
BTW: I have a complete (per yesterday) Norwegian translation. When
running "git format-patch" absolutely nothing happens. Am I missing
something or doing it the wrong way?
I have two copies of the gimp-help-2, one copy for "git pull" and a copy
of this as a working copy:
gimp/gimp-help-2
gimp/work/gimp-help-2
Updates my copies - making pot files - translating the nn/po files -
running
make -f Makefile.GNU validate-nn
make -f Makefile.GNU html-nn
git format-patch
(I have to use your special "tools/make_image_links.pl" to copy the images).
