 You're both right on this, I mean American english should be used in our
 docs, but on things like articles we may let the author to use "UK
 English" if it's his choice *and* if his text is consistant on this
 point.  On the web site pages or large books with many authors like the
 Handbook, we also need consistency and there we "prefer" to use en_US.
