Thank you for pushing this.

Let me suggest one more small fix.

Since the preceding word is plural, the acronym should probably be
pluralized too: (<acronym>MXID</acronym>s) rather than
(<acronym>MXID</acronym>).

This matches existing conventions elsewhere in the docs, e.g. MCVs
(most common values) and MCFs (most common frequencies) in
planstats.sgml.

Good find, pushed. Thanks for your contribution!
