I think that's better than how we started, by leaving the actual
advice in one place (Section 4), and referring to it.

I still think Section 4 could be better about explaining why it would
(or wouldn't) be useful to send BAD before flushing the literal and
the rest of the command, rather than after, but no one else has piped
up so we'll go from here.

I'll request last call now.
