Interesting. This I *have* seen in another document. Something I recognize is that these are all trademarks (i.e. implemented using trademark entities). (The other document is the "Roadmap to 5-STABLE", which I recently made a few trivial edits on. I usually work from PDF renditions when I edit documents. Oh yes, I made my own PDF files, so this particular problem isn't peculiar to the versions on the FTP server.)
