Really? Which one?

Sorry to hear that. :-(

Probably you want to look at the snapshot documentation. A new snapshot is
released at least once a day, and the snapshot documentation has all the
documentation fixes that have accumulated since the 4.0 release.

Take a look at the snapshot docs here:
http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/netcdf/docs_snapshot/

Some of the fixes you suggest were already made, others I have just checked in
to our code base, and the snapshot documentation will reflect them when it next
gets updated (probably later this morning, but certainly every night at 2 am.)

> I'll keep you up to date as I find more.

Please do! Thanks,

Ed
