Subject: Misc typos in documentation
Date: Tue, 19 Jun 2018 10:46:17 +0300
Message-ID: <[email protected]> (raw)

Hi,

Please consider these small patches that fix a couple of typos in 
documentation.

I have split them in two just in case rn-typos.patch conflicts with any 
current work on release-11.sgml, which seems to be going on in more than 
one thread. I'll appreciate your feedback if it should have been done 
differently.
