    3. Is there a reason the -*-outline-*- in the first line of etc/TODO
       is so far to the right side?

Why worry about it.

				    It may because it was copied from
       etc/ERC.

That seems rather unlikely.

    4. The Copyright in etc/INTERVIEW is only 1986

That isn't part of Emacs, so we do not change its copyright date.

    5. The Copyright in etc/COPYING is 1981,1991

That definitely should not be changed.

    7. ONEWS and ONEWS.1-4 have older copyright dates.

    8. OTHER.EMACSES has a 1985 copyright date

    11. LINUX-GNU has a 1996, 2002 copyright

Likewise.
