Yeah, I think you're right. That chapter is the first place in the
manual where the concepts of before/after/instead of are introduced.
The first time it mentions them it uses <firstterm>, but then it
doesn't use any markup for them for the remainder of the chapter. It
looks like the rest of the manual uses <literal>+uppercase wherever
they're mentioned, which does help readability, so it would make sense
to bring the rest of that chapter into line with that convention.

Thanks for looking at this.
