I needed to read this text and the one in NEWS several times before I
figured out what is meant here.  How about this alternative instead:

  If your front end cannot yet migrate to a more recent version of the
  MI protocol, you can nevertheless selectively enable specific features
  available in those recent MI versions, using the following commands:

  @table @code

  @item -fix-multi-location-breakpoint-output
  Use the output for multi-location breakpoints which was introduced by
  MI 3, even when using MI versions 2 or 1.  This command has no
  effect when using MI version 3 or later.

  @end @table

Otherwise, the documentation parts are OK.

Thanks.
