Bug description

Two minor editorial comments on chapter 6.3 of the documentation:

• (only in 3.06) "These nine name spaces...": there are actually eleven
  name spaces in the list. Changed in 3.07beta1, but not on the 3.06
  documentation currently online.

• "Referring to named objects" subsection. (3.06 and 3.07beta1)

The BNF states:

"value-path ::= value-name
| value-path '.' lowercase-ident"

Although it is equivalent, wouldn't it be more consistent to use the
following?

"value-path ::= value-name
| value-path '.' value-name"

==> In section "Referring to named objects", I would suggest for consistency
to not refer to ident, capitalized-ident or lowercase-ident directly, but
rather use the BNF binding from the previous subsection ("naming objects").

The whole transformation of the "Referring to named objects" syntax would
give:

"
value-path ::= value-name
| module-path '.' value-name
cconstr ::= cconstr-name
| module-path '.' cconstr-name
ncconstr ::= ncconstr-name
| module-path '.' ncconstr-name
typeconstr ::= typeconstr-name
| extended-module-path '.' typeconstr-name
field ::= field-name
| module-path '.' field-name
module-path ::= module-name
| module-path '.' module-name
extended-module-path ::= module-name
| extended-module-path '.' module-name
| extended-module-path '(' extended-module-path ')'
modtype-path ::= modtype-name
| extended-module-path '.' modtype-name
class-path ::= class-name
| module-path '.' class-name
"
