Not incorrectly, just following table 1-1 (the whole pinout was probably 
copied from there or from a nearby table).

So far, nobody (except perhaps Joerg) seems to have checked the routing 
and possible issues with having a 48MHz signal there. I also have no 
idea which kinds, amounts and values of magic capacitors or resistors 
would be needed to avoid a 100+ thread on the community mailing list 
about GPS not working, audio noise, or some other strange symptom. He 
also has to check if it cannot use too much current, cause mysterious 
sleep issues, or LEDs blinking while people aren't looking.

I use kpdf, which also has both a text search and the table of contents 
(you can switch between it and the thumbnails).
