Description:
MySQL 5.1 Reference, Section 2.3.1, the second-to-last paragraph reads:

"The Essentials package is recommended for most users. It is provided as an .msi file for use with the Windows Installer. The Complete and Noinstall distributions are packaged as Zip archives. To use them, you must have a tool that can unpack .zip files."

This is incorrect.  Change to:

"The Essentials package is recommended for most users. It is provided as an .msi file for use with the Windows Installer, as is the Complete distribution. The Noinstall distribution is packaged as a Zip archive. To use it, you must have a tool that can unpack .zip files."

That's it.

How to repeat:
Reading the paragraph will repeat the error.

Suggested fix:
See above.
