602043e0b8 (Time conversion specifiers, Options for date): 
Document date --rfc-3339 and new specifiers %:z, %::z, %:::z.  Use
"date and time" consistently; the old version sometimes said "time
and date".  Fix a minor bug in the documentation for --rfc-2822:
it claimed day-of-month < 10 had leading space, not leading zero.
Use a consistent format for terms like "RFC".

263672792f (nice invocation): Document "niceness" versus

Paul Eggert
09575c108c Use the phrase "niceness" instead of "nice value" to describe 
the biased nice value that can go negative.  This corrects
a discrepancy with POSIX, which states that nice values are
nonnegative.

Paul Eggert
bc4268f8d6 (cat invocation): Remove -B or --binary option 
(available on MS-DOS-like platforms only).  Explain when text and
binary mode are used now.
(md5sum invocation): -b actually does have an effect on Unix: it
causes "*" to be output.  Explain when text and binary mode are
used now.

Paul Eggert
7461cd03b5 (ls invocation): Fix typo: --time=use is 
equivalent to --time=atime, not --time=ctime.
(ls invocation, du invocation): Fix typo: --time-style=long-iso
is equivalent to a time style with a leading "+".
(du invocation): --last-time is now --time.
--time-style no longer implies --time.
The locale and posix- stuff now works only for TIME_STYLE, not
for --time-style.  Give equivalent format for --time-style=iso.

fa2ce4d932 (readlink invocation): "path component" ->
