Thanks.  However, could you please submit these as two separate
patches, one that fixes only the spelling and grammar, the other with
the rest?  I'd like to understand the motivation for moving stuff
around, for starters.

Also, when you send the patch for spelling and grammar, please try not
to reformat lines, so that unmodified lines don't appear in the diffs.
The way you did it (refilling the paragraphs after changing them)
makes the diffs unnecessarily voluminous and hard to read.

TIA

The ChangeLog entries should mention the node name for each change; it
is not sufficient to name only their parent node.

    ^^^^^
This is still not right.

Thanks again for working on this.
