[syslinux] [PATCH] I attach two patches correcting documentation and I have a few questions

I post this to the mailing list, but perhaps is not the right place.
So please, tell me where to send patches.

I try to put inline two patches that correctly describes the new support for F11
and F12 in documentation but I have two more question to update
documentation accordingly.
In doc/syslinux.txt line 515, talking about Command Line Keystrokes,
could be correct to add the [TAB] keystroke as a command completion?

And second, in doc/pxelinux.txt line 408 it says: "Requires a TFTP
server which supports the "tsize" option." But in change log for the
3.70 version (online at
http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/boot/syslinux/syslinux-3.70.lsm) you
can read "PXELINUX: We no longer require a TFTP server which supports
the tsize option for all transfers." Does that mean that we can delete
this requirement from doc/pxelinux.txt or ther's still some transfers
that needs this tftp option?

Thanks in advance.
