I agree with Kieran that the problem is that the comments often have the 
best info. It would be nice to be able to change the page, but who has 
that permission? I don't. All I can do is post a comment there on the 
page. If I have to go post a correction somewhere else, then the next 
person is not going to see the correction or variant I and others have 
contributed because they're lost in some forum thread. I believe we want 
to concentrate and clarify the documentation, not scatter the feedback 
to it.
