[boost] Documentation bug in libs/smart_ptr/index.htm?

Noticed from a recent posting to comp.lang.c++.moderated from KIM
Seungbeom (musiphil_at_[hidden]):

libs/smart_ptr/index.htm claims that "scoped_ptr can ease the
management of memory dynamically allocated in other ways."
(i.e. other than with a new expression). This isn't actually the case,
AFAICS from the code. Also, libs/smart_ptr/scoped_ptr.htm explicitly
says that ~scoped_ptr operates "as if by using delete this->get()".

The index.htm should probably read "shared_ptr can ease the management
..." since shared_ptr allows a for user-supplied "deleter" functor.

Should I go ahead and update libs/smart_ptr/index.htm in the CVS, or
am I missing something?
