It sounds like the last part (after the colon) is the important part,
and is the reason for having a separate face.  So I wonder whether the
documentation could be made more up-to-a-point by stating this right
from the beginning.  Then I think you will be able to omit a large
part of the rest, because the above makes the reason very clear.

Thanks.
