[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]
Hello,

This joins with a comma two sentences that were separated by a period
instead of ending the first sentence after the first item of an "either"
phrase.

Thank you.

Both styles are valid (and I believe used elsewhere in our docs).

Yup.  But the change does make the paragraph read better, in my opinion,
so I've pushed Earl's change to Emacs 28.

The change is ok, but deleting "they can be" would make it better writing.
