Description:
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/create-procedure.html
and
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/create-procedure.html

say:

"These statements create stored routines. To use them, it is necessary to have the CREATE ROUTINE  privilege."

It might not be clear that "them" refers to "statements". I think it is likely people think it refers to "stored routines", in which case the statement would be wrong.

How to repeat:
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/create-procedure.html
and
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/create-procedure.html

Suggested fix:
Reword, suggest:

"These statements create stored routines. Executing these statements requires the CREATE ROUTINE  privilege."
