I don't quote the rest of your patch as it is correct IMO. I would like to hear the final "OK" from Zack or Paul or someone else who confirms that the documentation is correct. I suggest to wait a while to give them a chance to reply and to push this patch either when they say OK or when you decide that they are unresponsive. Thank you for working on this. Regards, Rafal
