I think it is an improvement since we are talking here mainly about user-level instead of programmer-accessible documentation.

Then there would be no necessity to report a different form. -- David Kastrup, Kriemhildstr. 15, 44793 Bochum _______________________________________________ Emacs-pretest-bug mailing list Emacs-pretest-bug@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-pretest-bug
