Maybe the Bugs header can be changed into something broader, eg.
"Notes" or "Problems"

One reason to call it "Bugs" or "Problems" is that people tend to start think how to solve the bug or problem. For that reason it is good not to hide them
under a vague header "Notes" or "Remarks".

For most of the stuff under "Bugs", it makes sense to call it that. It's just that some things -- such as the fact that there's no standard 3/4 flat sign -- aren't LilyPond bugs. They're problems with the universe in general, and LilyPond suffers from those problems, but they're not anything specific to LilyPond. We
can't fix these "bugs", for example.

I'd like to leave most of the Bugs as they currently are, and just have a different heading for "problems with the universe in general; we can't fix these things". :)
