I'm aware of these - however, what is currently there is NOT directly
related to those, so, before blindly changing things, I wanted to know
whether the number there had any special significance - it doesn't look
like it is, but I don't understand any of the psychoacoustics well enough
to go changing stuff in there that I'm not absolutely certain about.

Not really, it seems pretty good. There are a few typos (mostly look like
incorrect conversion to HTML to me, but I didn't look closely). 

Section 1.2.2: the discussion on structured metadata is unrelated to the
comments header - that's now well defined (see vorbis/doc/v-comment.html)
I haven't looked deeply into some bits of code, so I can't speak with any
authority on much of it - but it looks correct (and I've come to more or
less the same conclusions)

There are a few sections where you don't seem entirely sure about what
you're saying - maybe you should send a list of questions to the list, and
get definitive answers.
