chmod(1) goes into great detail on how to specify file permissions, but
I thought that was missing from `(coreutils) chmod invocation'.  Now I
see that linked on that page is `(coreutils) File permissions', a page
that goes into even greater depth.

So this point is moot, and the example is fine.

It is still sometimes reasonable to link to the chmod man page, as the
coreutils info manual might be missing on some machines, for example
because of a missing package or because the system does not use GNU
coreutils.  So this examples is actually very good in both cases, with
your addition.
