Larry,

Since you are so astute to point this out, please feel free to make a diff
against the document SGML and submit a patch.  I'm sure the project's docs
would benefit greatly from your expertise, and are sorely in need of
updating.  Since you obviously value well written docs as much as I do,
I'm sure this would be a pleasure for you to do.

Cheers,
Nicholas
