	Looks fine to me. I've committed the patch with a few changes:

-      This ensures that any desktop-specific extensions will be preserved
+      This ensures that any desktop-specific extensions will be preseerved

	I've taken this change out

-      <title>Locale Matching</title>
+      <title>Locale matching</title>

	"Locale Matching" seems right to me - titles should be capitalised.

-	    <entry>Value Type</entry>
+	    <entry>Value type</entry>

	Again, this one looks fine capitalised.

-           Tooltip for the entry, for example "View sites on the

	"tooltip" is the common form of this term from what I've seen.

-    <title>Example Desktop Entry File</title>
+    <title>Example desktop entry file</title>

-    <title>The Legacy-Mixed encoding (Deprecated)</title>
+    <title>The <constant>Legacy-Mixed</constant> encoding (deprecated)</title>

-    <title>Example Desktop Entry File</title>
+    <title>Example desktop entry file</title>

-  <title>Deprecated Items</title>
+  <title>Deprecated items</title>

	Again, capitalisation is fine in all these cases. I know the whole file
isn't very consistent here, but capitalisation in titles seem like the
right thing to me. If you want to change the titles in the rest of the
spec, that'd be fine.

	(I've no idea how to sync these changes back onto the website - if
someone could help me that, I'd appreciate it)

Thanks,
Mark.
