Details:

In the help text of xargs, please remove the period from "logical EOF
processing." for option --null, and lowercase the initial S in "Set logical
EOF string" for option -E, for consistency.

By the way, the man page for xargs (xargs/xargs.1) contains a space after
options -e, -i, and -l (before their descriptions).  I don't think those
should be there.  Also it could be made a little clearer that using -e without
a string is exactly the same as not using -e at all; now it seems as if there
is a small difference.
