From reading this thread, it seems like the documentation issues here
have been fixed.  There were also some tangents, but separate bug
reports were filed for those.  So it doesn't seem like there's nothing
more to do here, and I'm closing this bug.

As always, please report back if there's something I missed.  Please
open new bug reports for any remaining issues that are not related to
the documentation changes discussed here.  Thanks in advance.
