Yes, more that meaning, like indeed the foremost meaning of the
word in German/Dutch (maybe my long weekend in Germany bolstered
this teutonism), so "current" would've probably been a better
choice of words here.  Although, what I wrote between parenthesis
should have made that much clear, too...

I'm actually a big proponent and fan of TeX/LaTeX, derivatives and spin-
offs.  It's too bad it seemingly began to decline, approximately during
the AXP age (in my estimation).  But perhaps that's also because
DECdocument stole its thunder?  (It was apparently good enough for DEC,
Compaq and HP for authoring manuals and such, from what I understand.)
