Will do.

Sounds like the option (4) I proposed back in [1]. I suppose it won't
be much trouble to move.

I would be happy even to see it reviewed for style, and if anybody's
willing to look at the technical content even if not feeling ideally
prepared, I'd be happy to respond or give references for any points
in question.

It does fix a number of actual bugs in the existing documentation, so
while it would be ideal to apply a higher standard of technical review
to this patch, it'd be less ideal to have existing buggy doc lingering on
because nobody feels up to reviewing at that ideal higher standard.
