Your report doesn't say clearly which pieces of text you find to
be incorrect, but I wonder if you have missed this sentence in the 
man page:

    The priority argument is formed by ORing the facility and the
    level values (explained below). 

If you still think there's a problem in the man page, could you please
describe the problem in more detail.

Cheers,

Michael
