I believe it's more helpful than it was before I submitted a patch: it
used to say "Returns true if all went OK", never mentioning that it
returns the cleaned up HTML.

The author didn't commit my patch directly, so the documentation
doesn't contain what I wrote (see the RT ticket referenced from my
journal entry), but I'm grateful that he chose to commit any sort of
improvement.

Perhaps not, but if you can improve it, you should send a patch to the
author.  If you can't improve it, I don't understand what you're
trying to achieve by mentioning this here.
