In the interest of keeping that patch as small and clear as possible I
had not re-indented text where I normally would have. Sorry I did not
make this clear when I sent it.

There are a few dozen lines that need to be moved in 2 spaces to keep
with the structure of the document. If you wish to do this you can use
the patch below (it does not change any text, just adds white space a
refills a couple of lines).

Cheers!
