In section "5.1 Browsing contexts" you can read

"Note: In general, there is a 1-to-1 mapping from the Window object to the Document object. There are two exceptions. First, a Window can be reused for the presentation of a second Document in the same browsing context, such that the mapping is then 2-to-1. "

Shouldn't the last be 1-to-2 (since the note says mapping "from Window to Document")

Similarly few lines below

"Second, a Document can end up being reused for several Window objects when the document.open() method is used, such that the mapping is then 1-to-many."

Should this be many-to-one
