I've been noticing deficiencies in the official Python documentation. 
What's the procedure to request and/or contribute fixes and improvements?

Examples: at http://www.python.org/dev/doc/devel/lib/string-methods.html
1-decode and encode have an encoding parameter. It is not explained.
2-expandtabs "tab characters are expanded" expanded is not defined. It 
takes an experiment to find out what this means.
3-translate "mapped through the given translation table" Huh?
