Your suggestions sound good to me.

Unfortunately, it's not like there's a team of tech writers sitting around 
waiting for suggestions of things to write and put into the docs. Rather, 
updating pretty much anything in the documentation -- or the ports for that 
matter -- requires "suggesting" the actual changes you want in the form of 
patches that replace the existing content with your version.

After starting down this road, you may decide it's less of an ordeal just to 
write something yourself and put it up on your own blog. :/
