Now SANE_Device:
| 4.2.8 Device Descriptor Type
http://www.meier-geinitz.de/sane/sane2/0.07/doc011.html#s4.2.8

| The string backend_website has to be set up by the backend with the
| website or ftp address of the backend in the format:

"The string backend_website should be set up by the backend with the
 website or ftp address of the backend in the format:"

Not everyone has a webpage.

| The backend should fill the string device_location with a text that
| describes where a user can find this device, the text should be read
| from the backend config file. This could e.g. look like this: 

"The backend should fill the string device_location with a text that
 describes where a user can find this device. The text should be
 configurable by the user. This could e.g. look like this:"

Variables could be used, or a local GPS, or whatever :-)

| The string comment can be used to display any comment to the user, the
| text should be read from the backend config file. 

"The string comment can be used to display any comment to the user.
 The text should be configurable by the user."

| The string reserved_string is planed for future use, the backend has
| to set this string to "". 

"The string reserved_string is unused currently but planned for
future use. "

"All unused strings must be set to "" by the backend."
