Observing renewed interest in long-standing (semi-) relativistic descriptions of two-body bound states, we would like to make a few comments on the eigenvalue problem posed by the spinless Salpeter equation and, illustrated by the examples of the nonsingular Woods-Saxon potential and the singular Hulthen potential, recall elementary tools that, in their quest, practitioners looking for analytic albeit approximate solutions will find useful.
