Yes -- part of the problem arises because apparently the av_scanner
was legal BEFORE the scanning was folded into the main product.

Some of the examples out there indicate "decode" and "malware"
in the MIME ACL (unless I am very confused), and supposedly the
"demime" is deprecated but there doesn't seem to be a replacement
for the DATA section (like decode) so I am not sure why it would
be deprecated.

You are correct that this point is NOT in error, just not
as explicit as it can be AND there is obsolete information
in other places that contradicts it.
