Hi all,

I'll address all the highlighted problems in the V2. Thanks a lot for 
all the feedback.

Yann,
For the generic acronyms, how about keeping it in this patch for now? 
After it gets merged, I can prepare a new documentation patch that 
creates a glossary for DRM where I move the generic acronyms to the DRM 
documentation. I prefer this approach to keep the improvement small and 
manageable.

Best Regards
Siqueira
