I assume you're talking about the -H, -h, -L, -P options.  You're
right, these would be nice to add to coreutils.  Do you know anyone
who can volunteer to do that?  We're always open to someone helping us
by improving functionality.

As far as the documentation goes, we prefer texinfo to man page
format, as it can use hyperlinks.  If you can suggest specific
improvements to the wording in the documentation, please let us know.
