The new section did show up on the webpage.  It reads nice and friendly.

In addition to showing images of desired behavior, people sometimes describe it 
in text. Werner and some others report bugs in the form of a statement of 
desired behavior and then a tiny example to show what they don't like.  The 
tiny example tells us the precise subject; the text tells us the point.

You might want to use this kind of report in step 2: create a bug report.
