IMHO, there's rather too much marketing-speak in here than is fitting for a manpage. "Mashed-up" sounds too informal and imprecise, and a manpage shouldn't be trying to persuade me that any particular features are "unique" or "complete". I just want a manpage to tell me what the application does, in the simplest and clearest way possible. (I'm sure Sun must have a manpage style guide somewhere...)
