Minor suggestions - no bug.
 
1. No need to tell users to turn on font-lock - it's on by default now
(for GNU Emacs at least).
 
2. Likewise transient-mark mode.
 
3. Maybe be a little softer with the key-binding suggestions.  "Add the
following lines to your `.emacs' file" and "The following lines are
always needed" are a bit heavy, even though the text clarifies that
these are only suggested bindings ("please choose suitable keys
yourself", "Choose your own keys").  Many users might just copy & paste
without reading carefully.  It would probably be enough to advise users
to bind those two commands to keys of their choosing, or to just say 
"Suggested key bindings: ...".
