And 10 lines below
   SLICE_TERM ::= NAME
          The slice NAME itself. This name has to match against the regex
          ``[_A-Z0-9*{}]+''. Here two cases are possible: NAME is either
          a plain slice name consisting only of uppercase letters, digits
          or an underscore character. Or it is a wildcarded slice name
          indicated by an asterisk character.

Warning: braces apply to wml-SNAP only

The problem reported by Slice is just the lack of LANG_* slices, which
is solved by adding them, e.g.

 <lang:new id=en>
 <lang:new id=de>

 <lang:en>...</lang:en>
 <lang:de>...</lang:de>
