A few suggestions. Overall, I like the text and the addition to the handbook.

There should be a dash between "Non" and "automatic".

672 ↗(On Diff #51807)

There is a sentence stop missing here.

677 ↗(On Diff #51807)

This <screen> tag should be indented on the same level as the <para>'s above and below.

683 ↗(On Diff #51807)

You could use emphasis tags here instead of capitalizing the "NOT" here.

OK, thanks for these fixes. Can you run textproc/igor over your changes and see if they report anything? If not, I can commit it.
Thanks.

I had to double-check i.e vs. eg., and found that it scans, so it looks good to me.
