Subject: 23.3; doc of `face-list'
Date: Tue, 20 Sep 2011 10:32:17 -0700

Both doc string and Elisp manual say that `face-list' returns a list of
face names.  This is incorrect or at least misleading.  A "name" value
in Emacs typically refers to a string value.  The doc should say clearly
that the list elements are face _symbols_, not face "names".
