    I looked through the user's manual but there didn't seem to be a very
    good place to do this.  And, this isn't a variable but a constant,
    since I think it doesn't make sense to let the user customize it.  So
    I'm hoping you will agree that it is ok to leave it as-is.

If users should not change it, I agree with you.

    +@defvar user-emacs-directory
    +This variable holds the name of the @file{.emacs.d} directory.  It is
    +ordinarily @file{~/.emacs.d}, but differs on some platforms.
    +

It needs @end defvar, but aside from that it is good.
