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.
