Correction: "Thomas had a streams module written (by Hans)." I used it 
for a bilingual document for my course material, but in the end, it 
turned out that using it for a "real" book would have been extremely 
complex. In my field, there are numerous books with a bilingual layout, 
but I guess they are all still handcrafted, i.e. manual page breaks etc. 
I just shudder to think what would happen if someone has to add three 
words on page 3 of such a book - they would have to redo every single 
darn pagebreak?
