Error in Migration Tool documentation?

Looking at the Force.com Migration Guide, under Using the Force.com Migration Tool | Constructing a Project Manifest | Specifying Standard Objects, the following example code is listed to retrieve metadata for a Standard Object:

Code:
<—xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"–>
<Package xmlns="http://soap.sforce.com/2006/04/metadata">
    <types>
        <member>Case.EngineeringReqNumber__c</member>
        <name>CustomField</name>
    </types>
    <types>
        <member>Account</member>
        <name>CustomObject</name>
    </types>
    <version>13.0</version>
</Package>

However, I think the "member" tags should be pluralized:

Code:
<—xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"–>
<Package xmlns="http://soap.sforce.com/2006/04/metadata">
    <types>
        <members>Case.EngineeringReqNumber__c</members>
        <name>CustomField</name>
    </types>
    <types>
        <members>Account</members>
        <name>CustomObject</name>
    </types>
    <version>13.0</version>
</Package>

This actually took me a bit of time to figure out - so I'm hoping I can save someone else some time by posting here (or else get it corrected).

Thanks for bringing this to our attention!  We'll fix this in the next release of the Force.com Migration Guide.

Last night we released a new version of the Force.com Migration Tool Guide, correcting these and other minor errata.
