 This only fixes the first point of the ticket description.

 I have attached a patch to fix the second point (and some typos).
 Reopening to get this applied.

 The third point is IMO not necessary anymore because the configuration is
 self-documenting. It would also increase the chance of the configuration
 and the documentation getting out of sync.
