We need a style guide for writing docs. I will send in separate email
though I wondered if we should set a maximum line length/line breaks
at 80 char as with code?

There is always a comma after e.g.

We (American, British) normally put a space before parentheticals such
as defining an acronym, like "Blob (dtb)".

"during starting" is awkward, try "during start up" or "while starting up"

This "registering with custom path" is awkward, maybe it needs
"registering with a custom path"
