The series now looks good to me, I don't have time to test it now but will
do it after Jul 20th.

I am satisfied with rst-man2any.py, but as being normal picky me I wonder

that "namespace". If no one else has the same feeling (or the feeling is
just wrong (or insignificant)) then this can be forgotten :D
