The current Elisp reference manual features more than 500 such discrepancies. Most of them would have to be fixed by changing the specification, not the manual. Changing the specification means check for name clashes, reindent code, refill doc-strings and comments, recompile, rebuild. Doing this manually would get people busy for quite some time. martin
