I worked based on your comments some days ago but didn't find the time
to answer your email at that time. Sorry if this created a Git war or
something.

Yes. So you did that in 9f3543a and I improved in 8c9de0c.

So far I got now answer from Mediapart regarding whether they wanted to
make this public on *their* website. I hope so :)

I agree with you. So I replaced "structural" with "regular" in 5961a5c
which got reverted in 99c1793 without explanation, so I reverted the
