This is a clear error and can cause significant confusion on the user's
and implementer's side. Most of the text is copied from the
point-to-point section and is thus consistent with the remainder of the
document (even though I don't like the wording there ("should") at
all!).

Please take your time and check. We are not intending to rush.

> Even then, this feels rushed.
I don't think there is rush. We can release the document without this
fix (with a known bug). That's why I commit each item separately.
However, I'm against a release with bugs but that's not my decision.

Thanks,
  Torsten
