Hmmm. I'm not opposed, but I wonder if 'Reported:' and 'Reviewed:' are
this tiny bit easier to handle (both for placing and analyzing scripts)
that makes the difference between "nice idea, but fails to be used in
the field" and "after some tradition phase this becomes the new normal"
in the end.

Whatever, will mention that and point to this post in the next round.
Thx for the feedback!

Ciao, Thorsten
