Hello Bruce,
* "DOCUMENT THE DEFAULT GENERATION METHOD"
=> The default is still to generate data client-side.
My point is that the docs are not clear about this.
Indeed.
Can you fix it?
Sure. Attached patch adds an explicit sentence about it, as it was only
hinted about in the default initialization command string, and removes a
spurious empty paragraph found nearby.
