I think I get it. Complete sentences are alright, but header and value (in
tabular format) should be seperated out.

I don't understand this; if I don't use sprintf() or printf(), I'm not sure why
I'd need placeholders. But I don't need to understand it, as long as the code
is acceptable :-).

I'll send a patch in a seperate message.

Thanks!
