Well, I don't know if this change is really useful:

1) This line, in the minibuffer \section, was here to say that the menu
   bar can be used through the minibuffer, whatever the configuration
   is. This is the job of M-`, now.

2) F10 works for the menu bar on X too, not just « on text terminals ».

3) Reading the minibuffer section, I'm more interested in the M-`
   binding than in F10.

I'd suggest to just replace F10 by M-`. The other advantage is that we
can change all refcards, for each language.

I didn't realize that M-` was now different from F10.  What you say is
correct, but I don't think your suggested text is better for users.  I
think it is better to say what I've said.  I think this feature is
meant for ttys, and it is easier to remember F10 than M-`.

    2) F10 works for the menu bar on X too, not just =AB on text terminals =BB.

Yes, but that doesn't change my conclusion.
