28. Different fit procedures with variable number of fit components were considered but yielded equivalent results. The temperature dependence of the extracted parameters and above all the redistribution of spectral weight unambiguously converge to a unique trend.

31. Because of the remaining Fermi surface and Drude weight the CDW single-particle excitations should be correctly named as pseudogaps. For simplicity we call them CDW gaps.
