Dave,

Thanks for your interest.  Maybe you're right.  Please explain in more
detail why you think that the MacOS X implementation of chmod(1) is
superior to the GNU coreutils implementation.  If you can be specific,
and we agree, perhaps we can improve things.

As regards documentation, it is the GNU project's policy to prefer
Texinfo documentation for its software rather than nroff manual pages.
You may regard that policy as right, or you may regard it as wrong,
but that's the policy.

Regards,
James.
