Lots of missing information about new and changed functionality. Wrong, 
in that particular sense.

Just for the mysqldump man page: some details that would apply to the 
mysqldump program in MariaDB, taken from the man page from the 
mysql-client-5.5 package:

        ·   --apply-slave-statements

            For a slave dump produced with the --dump-slave option, add 
a STOP SLAVE statement before the CHANGE MASTER TO statement and a
            START SLAVE statement at the end of the output. This option 
was added in MySQL 5.5.3.

        ·   --dump-slave[=value]
....

            This option was added in MySQL 5.5.3.

and for mysql(1):

        ·   --auto-vertical-output

            Cause result sets to be displayed vertically if they are too 
wide for the current window, and using normal tabular format
            otherwise. (This applies to statements terminated by ; or 
\G.) This option was added in MySQL 5.5.3.

I could analyze the full text and give you a word-by-word diff if that's 
what it takes to establish that MySQL 5.1 < MySQL 5.5.

All man pages are tagged as "MySQL 5.1".

They all seem to be from MySQL 5.1, that's by definition outdated.
