I found another one in 2.0.50_pre10 (so i reopened this bug):
,--------
| PR     Contains the revision number or 'r0' if no revision number exists.
|        xfree-4.2.1-r2.ebuild --> $PR=='r2'
| [...]
| PF     Contains the full package name [PN]-[PV]-r[PR]
|        xfree-4.2.1-r2.ebuild --> $PF=='xfree-4.2.1-r2'
'--------                                         
so it must be (without an 'r'):
PF     Contains the full package name [PN]-[PV]-[PR]


The same mistake can be found on: http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/gentoo-howto.xml

swift: i fixed the english gentoo-howto.xml ... i think this is a case where you want to fix up the translated documents (see comment #2)
