According to <http://www.kreuzotter.de/impressum.htm>, you are correct.  
This also explains why the last update was in 2009.

In that case the obituary should be along these lines:

He had some good ideas, but he had not yet acquired the skills to implement 
all of them properly.  He leaves the world with a challenging legacy.

From wz_tooltip.js:

function tt_ExtCmdEnum()
{
	var s;

	// Add new command(s) to the commands enum
	for(var i in config)
	{
		s = "window." + i.toString().toUpperCase();
		if(eval("typeof(" + s + ") == tt_u"))
		{
			eval(s + " = " + tt_aV.length);
			tt_aV[tt_aV.length] = null;
		}
	}
}
