I have just got GNU Emacs 18.52 up and running and have been going through
the manual.  In section 10.1.2 "Killing by Lines," the comments about C-k
killing a "blank line" caught my attention.  For the novice, a distinction
should be made between an apparently blank line (containing whitespace)
and a truly blank line (containing only LFD).

I realize this could be considered picking nits, but thought I'd mention it
anyway.
