New submission from Fred L. Drake, Jr. <fdr...@acm.org>:

Some portions of the documentation are using the term "member" to mean "data 
attribute".  This appears to be an aberration at this time, but occurrences 
should be identified and corrected, and "Documenting Python" updated to note 
correct usage.

Example use:

http://docs.python.org/dev/py3k/library/xmlrpc.client.html#fault-objects

http://docs.python.org/dev/py3k/library/urllib.request.html#basehandler-objects
(paragraph starting "The following members and methods should")

"Members and methods" should just be "attributes".
