I'm not sure what you mean by this paragraph... but it sounds like we agree, which of course makes me happy!

Why do they have to be 100 % identical? That is not the reason for the change. The the manual was brought up to illustrate that the logical style is not foreign or confusing at all. Naturally I shall perform any corrections necessary in the documentation. As we have seen, this will not be much work.

Which was precisely my point. The vast majority uses something like C-@key{...}. No change required here.
