Thanks for helping improve the documentation. I haven't looked at the
patch, but have some comments in regards to the process.
We prefer to send new iterations of patches as separate threads,
with the exception being small fixes/cleanups.
Also, I'd recommend waiting a bit longer between versions to let the
maintainers comment since getting documentation is pretty particular.
