Comment:

 I'm happy to take this on as my first attempt to contribute to core after
 years of doing development on top of WP.

 That said, this ticket should probably provide guidance on whether it
 should only address user-facing text or other instances in the source
 where it occurs (i.e. comments). I just did a pretty primitive grep on
 trunk and found a number of issues and inconsistencies, e.g.


 {{{
 // This Class uses the timeout on a per-connection basis, Others use it on
 a per-action basis.
 // Nothing, This will be displayed within a iframe.
 //Download the package (Note, This just returns the filename of the file
 if the package is a local file)
 // Boom, This sites about to get a whole new splash of paint!
 * Theme Upgrader class for WordPress Themes, It is designed to
 upgrade/install themes from a local zip, remote zip URL, or uploaded zip
 file.
 }}}


 (the last line has additional grammatical errors as well)

 Actually, upon further review, it looks like the comments could use a lot
 more cleanup than just capitalization after a comma. Is there an official
 style guide? Spaces after double slashes, American vs. International
 spelling, etc all seem a tad... inconsistent.
