This usage of @xref in the middle of a sentence produces badly
capitalized English, because @xref generates "See ..." with a capital
S. The right way of writing this kind of text is either
The selected window's buffer is usually the current buffer (except
when @code{set-buffer} has been used), see @ref{Current Buffer}.
It isn't correct to use a comma there -- you need a semicolon.
If @var{window} is omitted, this function returns the buffer for the
selected window.
Better is "If you omit..." since it is the active voice.
