Hi! I have pushed to head as it was. I was thinking about separating bug/discussion/url when i was 
writing  the browser mega-patch, but I decided to be minimalistic and to have one simple annotation 
for all this stuff (mostly considering where everywhere it is propagated and how are the outputs 
similar/different)
I will add this to my todo list, but I'm afraid that pure laziness  and never-ending lack of time 
will make it disappear rather then full-fill in close future.


Thanx both of you for your eyeballing,
   best regards,
        J.
