The Python Library Reference page for the SocketServer
module refers to RequestHandlerClass as though it was
the name of an actual class. Actually, it should be
either "request handler class" or "BaseRequestHandler".

Secondly, in the second para of the BaseRequestHandler
handle() method description, StreamRequestHandler and
DatagramRequestHandler are referred to as mix-in
classes when they are in fact subclasses of
BaseRequestHandler.

This error is also present in the comments at the start
of the module.

Thanks for the suggestions. Your first point has already
been clarified by adding more explanation to the docs, the
second point I have corrected in
Doc/lib/libsocksvr.tex r1.20, r1.18.4.2, Lib/SocketServer.py
r1.40, r1.37.4.1.
