> There is also a slight problem with the set-process-sentinel docs - there really isn't anything that says a process starts with a default sentinel - even if the set-process-sentinel function is not called.

It's okay: the change I've just committed adds that as well.

> The current docs set-process-sentinel docs just say what happens if the sentinel argument is nil. Careful reading certainly implies that the default sentinel will be given to a process - but surely this kind of information can be more explicit.

It is now.

Emacs has the concept of a default process sentinel - but this is not documented in the emacs lisp reference manual.
