Both relevant suggestions and patches are useful.  Most of the times a
suggestion will be enough, if it is relevant and accurate (as yours was)
Sometimes patches will be okay but, as Carsten told me, Org manual is in
constant move under his fingers, so don't spend too much time on trying
to edit it and send the *perfect patch* :)

Since you're using Emacs, the easiest way to make a patch is this:

- keep the original copy of org.texi somewhere (version A)
- copy it into a working directory (version B)
- edit version B
- in dired, hit `=' on version B
- enter version A at the prompt
- go to the newly opened window containing the diff
- save the diff buffer into something like "org_yourname.texi.patch"
- send it to the list/Carsten

You're done.

HTH,
