Please feel free to let me know if you have any questions or requests.

@trebmuh Thanks again for the proofreading, good catches. I applied most of your suggestions. In a couple of cases where I didn't, I'll comment inline with explanations.

@trebmuh has rightfully observed the documentation is not published under a license. I will publish under a dual LAL 1.3 / CC-BY-SA 4.0.

Is it fine with you @bsutherland? (probably, it's a little matter but would be indelicate of me to relicense the contribution without asking)

@jpcima Fine by me! Thanks for checking.

Also, please feel free to edit the commit history (eg squash, rebase) if you prefer.
