Hello Alexander,

great job!

In my opinion most of the differences are not only acceptable but even
better. Here are some addition notes:

For me the following topics are ok: 18, 19, 22, 37.

If possible we shall invest some more effort in solutions for: 1 (up +
home not only in footer but also in header), 8, 11, 20, 30.

Topics 9 and 22 seems to be identical.

Kind regards, Jürgen
