(POV-Ray 3.5 Beta 11)

5.2.6.1 Quality Settings:

"Quality=n Set quality value to n (0 <= n <= 11)
[...]
8 Compute reflected, refracted, and transmitted rays.
9 Compute media and radiosity
10
11"

Since +Q10 and +Q11 are no longer valid, it should be changed to "0 <= n <=
9", and "10" and "11" should be removed (or "9, 10, 11 Compute media and
radiosity").


5.2.6.4 Anti-Aliasing Options:

After "Example of how the recursive super-sampling works":
"This is different from the adaptive, non-recursive method were the total
number of super-samples is specified."
Should be changed to "method, where the".

The table below says that with +AM1 and +R2 four samples are taken, with +R4
16 samples are taken etc.
But as I could see in the messages when using +A0.0 +AM1 and +R2/4/6/8,
always one more sample is taken (5, 17, 37, 65).
Perhaps that is because a ray in the middle of the pixel is shooten, but why
shouldn't it be written in the documentation (or at least made clear that
these are *additional* samples)?
