Summary: A possible thinko in the description of os/chmod

Initial Comment:
As of November 21, 2005, the description of os.chmod()
function at the following URL:
http://docs.python.org/lib/os-file-dir.html read: 

"chmod(  	path, mode)
    Change the mode of path to the numeric mode. mode
may take *one of the following values* (as defined in
the stat module):"[asterisks mine]

Shouldn't "one of the following values" be "a bitwise
OR of one or more of the following values", or similar
verbage?
