For documents in the doc/ tree, we use whatever is specified by the locale name. The English documents are delegated as en_US.ISO8859-1, so we use US English. For manual pages, both are acceptable, but it would be nice if just one is used (i.e., as long as the word is spelled the same way throughout the man page, regardless of whether it's British or US spelling, it's okay). Further, changing a spelling as a matter of preference (US vs. British) or otherwise is strongly discouraged, so this part of the change is wrong. The other parts look okay, though, so if the submitter could please back that part out, I'll apply this. Thanks.
