Commit it.  There are some typo fixes in the patch as well.  They are
OK, just please separate them from the whitespace changes.

I suppose you're right, so go ahead and fix it.  Best keep it separate
from the whitespace changes, though.

Please don't hesitate to send this kind of thing to mplayer-docs.  I
think it's of general interest and hopefully somebody else can answer

OK, nice to hear you will finish this.  Maybe you could do tvinput.xml
first, it's very short and it's the last piece of MPlayer
documentation missing from the Hungarian translation.
