I am more than willing to accept patches or updates to the relevant text.

What you are suggesting would be very useful. The more people who are 
participating in keeping the docs upto date the more chance we have of 
doing a good job.

Also, could everyone who is interested please have a look at this

I will be working on this page from now on.

  Apparently upon the beginning of the barrage, the donkey broke 
discipline and panicked, toppling the cart. At that point, the rockets 
disconnected from the timer, leaving them strewn around the street. 
Tethered to the now toppled cart, the donkey was unable to escape before 
the arrival of U.S. troops.
