Thank you Guido.
It'll be nice to see this all come to something.
Thanks to all who contributed to the discussion -- despite this being a pretty simple function, I learned a lot and far more fully appreciate the nuance of all of this.
I'll edit the text as you suggest, and then work on a patch -- I'm sure I'll have questions for Python-dev when I actually do that, but I'll get started on my own and see how far I get.

There's another typo: The "Large tolerances" section, references a "string test". Perhaps that should be "strong test", but that would seem to contradict the sentence which follows.
