Not actually something modified by the patch, but: it's my understanding
that that is correctly written "RealNetworks", i.e. without the space. I
also have my usual theoretically-ambiguous-meaning objections about
hyphenation of adjectival phrases (i.e., is it a "stream" compatible
with RealNetworks, or is it a "compatible stream" of the type known as
RealNetworks?), but nobody seems to agree with me on that.

"Flash(TM)", and/or a possible space before the open-paren.

What does the "open" mean here? I seem to recall that there is/was
something known as OpenDivX, and it's possible that this is intended to
refer to that; if so, that form should probably be used, and if not, the
word "open" should probably be removed.

"abbreviations"

In the line preceding the changed ones, there is an apparently
extraneous space by the colon.

Warning: Simply because I argue an issue does not mean I agree with any
side of it.
