Do not talk about "real" numbers; talk about "floats" or "floating point
...
numbers" instead; we have not described "reals" anywhere else in the
documentation, and this is not the place to change the story!

select.select(): Add note that though this function accepts empty lists,

Use small tables instead of bare \item markers to describe the contents
...
of return tuples. The bare \item took advantage of an implementation
detail when formatting in LaTeX, and was just wrong when generating HTML.
It also broke the XML conversion scripts, since there was no enclosing
list-like environment to contain them.

Substantial re-organization of the DOM documentation. The abstract API
