   Format: MarkdownItexI put in a remark of how $GL_1(R)$ is an affine variety, inspiring the general definition, and mentioned that this is how one should think of the adeles topologically. It was implicitly there, but I just brought it out a bit.

   Format: MarkdownItexOh, sorry, I didn't check and figured David had added also the following paragraph. In any case, I think it's easier for the reader with the two (or three) thoughts separated this way.
