It would be useful if it didn't contain errors that replace valid
spelling to invalid ... for example:

- * avoid potential segfault when canonicalizing properties (r1296369)
+ * avoid potential segfault when canonizing properties (r1296369)

I'm afraid this project hasn't been given the power to canonise anything.

Another example:

-The original state before the operation can be characterised by
+The original state before the operation can be characterized by

Nope; the original is correct. Unless you want to start an English vs.
American spelling flame-war on this list.

There are surely more such examples. It's great work, but I'm against
applying the patch as-is; it will just introduce new errors. Worse yet,
your patch changes tokens in code in ways that are probably not correct.
