5b09eeea89 Clarify that even though some of the relevant specifications define the
order in which form variables should be encoded in a request, a CGI script
should not rely on that since a client may not conform to those specs, or
they may not be relevant to the request.
Closes SF bug #596866.

34a37b807a Re-commit Ping's patch to the cgi and cgitb documentation, using the
right version this time.  Thanks, Ping!
(This was from SF patch #494582, "\index -> \indexii" version.)

c37b65ee10 Clean up some markup cruft. A number of the macros that take no
parameters (like \UNIX) are commonly entered using an empty group to
separate the markup from a following inter-word space; this is not
needed when the next character is punctuation, or the markup is the
last thing in the enclosing group.  These cases were marked
inconsistently; the empty group is now *only* used when needed.

84e58ab722 For the escape() function, added a reference to the quoteattrs() function
in xml.sax.saxutils, since that is the right function to use for quoting
attribute values.
This closes SF bug #444707.

Cleaned up a variety of other minor markup errors.

91f2f26d75 Fix up a few style nits -- avoid "e.g." and "i.e." -- these make
translation more difficult, as well as reading the English more
difficult for non-native speakers.

9f9bd6af78 Simplify an example based on comment from Thomas Holenstein <thomas@hex.ch>:
Do not use an extra flag variable to test only once in one subsequent if
statement.

f8316638af Rob W. W. Hooft's spelling fixes for the Library Reference. I hope
SourceForge doesn't choke on this batch :-)

I'm not entirely sure this is 100% correct. The patch changes an
\index{persistency} to \index{presistence}, and I don't know what \index{}
does. But it seems to do so persi--er, consistently, so I hope it isn't a
problem.
