1) "A non-noarch subpackage's dependency on its main package"

s/on its main package/on its main package or another subpackage/

2) https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/Guidelines#Requiring_Base_Package
I suggest tweaking the examples to include the (epoch and) version and release 
for consistency with the above.

3) 
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/NamingGuidelines#Renaming.2Freplacing_existing_packages
Because Provides are not ISA qualified by default, both ISA qualified and non-
qualified Provides should be added where applicable and appropriate when 
replacing or splitting packages in order to not break dependencies.  I suggest 
noting this both in this draft and the above NamingGuidelines entry.
