I think you are doing a great job on all this - your guessing is 
definitely very educated guessing;-) as it is most of the time correct - 
at least for me this is the first little problem I found and I use the 
doc links quit often.

BTW, as the Python doc is using Sphinx maybe the file used by the 
InterSphinx extension might be useful for your stuff, see the end on the 
following page.
