mod_jk log levels documentation

Hi.

In this page : http://tomcat.apache.org/connectors-doc/reference/apache.html
it says

JkLogLevel set the log level between :

     * info log will contain standard mod_jk activity (default).
     * warn log will contain non fatal error reports.
     * error log will contain also error reports.
     * debug log will contain all information on mod_jk activity
     * trace log will contain all tracing information on mod_jk activity

I personally find this a bit confusing, when it comes to guessing how 
much detail one would get in the Jk log file.

I also find the word "also" in the line about "error" a bit confusing.

Also in the table higher up describing the parameters, the JkLogLevel 
order is "debug, info, warn error or trace".

Intuitively, I would imagine that by /decreasing/ level of detail, one 
would have :
trace (the most verbose)
debug
info (the default)
warn
error (the least verbose)

Is my intuition wrong ?

Nope. Patches to clarify documentation are always welcome. If you need a
hand to figure out how to put a patch together, just ask.
