Ben, The first paragraph of that doc page needs repair. Trivially, there are two references to set_xscale. The problem pointed out above is more serious. plot() has no facility for handling a projection kwarg, and I don't think it would make sense to try to add one. pyplot functions that accept the projection kwarg are axes, subplot, and subplots. Do you want to fix the paragraph, or should I? Independently, I want to redo the FAQ discussion of draw(), show(), and interactive versus non-interactive mode. It is possible that this topic needs more attention elsewhere as well, but I want to start with the FAQ.
