Could you elaborate a bit maybe? What kind of improvements would you 
like to be done? Longer/better descriptions of options? More examples in 
the same sections as options descriptions?

Wow... is it _that_ bad? I saw some really outdated informations, for 
example, in the "codecs" file (the description of XviD for example, is, 
I think, almost plain wrong).
I was wondering if I should update the XML doc when I see that some 
informations are missing or wrong, without waiting for some comments on 
the ML, while paying attention to feedbacks/comments I may receive about 
this or that commit to further improve my commits?

In brief, could you tell me what you trust me for as I'm not a native 
English speaker/writer?

Ok, I'm not offering to do all of what you do when you're not so busy 
(as I both don't have the time to do so, and I'm not as good as you are 
in English), but I'd just want to offer my help if you can me point out 
which precise areas of the docs could be updated by someone like me.

Regards,
Guillaume
