 In the "Constructing the boiler plate/GstElementDetails" section, I'd
 change the sentence "The element details are registered with the
 plugin during _base_init ()." to explicitly say that this _base_init
 () function is the GObject _base_init () function, not something
 specific to GStreamer.

+The "Constructing the Boilerplate/GstStaticPadTemplate" pad template
+section lacks an example of using gst_pad_new_from_template () in an
+_init function.
+The current _base_init example defines static pad templates as local
+variables, I suppose they should be static globals so that they can be
+used both in _init and in _base_init. 
+Maybe what I'm saying doesn't make much sense, but anyway this section
+needs a bit of clarification since I had to look at an existing
+plug-in to find out what I should do with gst_pad_new_from_template ;)
+Maybe it could also be mentioned that the gchar *name argument to
+gst_pad_new_from_template may seem redundant with the name passed when
+initializing the static pad template, but that it's useful with other
+pad types.
