You're right. I tried to ping the discussion containing the proposed fix
already here:

 http://lists.xen.org/archives/html/xen-devel/2014-06/msg02065.html

Hopefully, someone will look at the patch soon...

Yeah, please do! Do as Ian said for getting write access and then go
ahead.

Also, next Wednesday is going to be one of our Docs Day:
 http://lists.xen.org/archives/html/xen-devel/2014-06/msg02266.html
 http://wiki.xenproject.org/wiki/Xen_Document_Days

If you have time, I'd really recommend participating.

In the mean time, if there are issues that you've found in the docs, but
for any reason you can't fix them right away, consider adding them here,
so that they someone can take care of them during the event:
 http://wiki.xenproject.org/wiki/Xen_Document_Days/TODO

Regards,
Dario
