gdb/mi

I have some questions/comments about gdb/mi if someone could help out:

1. I've configure gdb 5.2 with --enable-gdbmi and --with-uiout.
However when I run "gdb --interpreter=mi" the initial messages are
not in console stream output format, but later messages are. Is this
by design?

2. When I run a target program, it's output is not in target stream
output format. Should this be the case?

3. The gdb/mi output syntax in the manual does not quite reflect
reality. In particular the 'console-stream-output',
'target-stream-output' and 'log-stream-output' rules should be
suffixed with 'nl'. Also, I've observed an 'out-of-band-record'
appearing after a 'result-record' but the syntax doesn't allow this.
I guess it should be something like:

output -> (out-of-band-record)* [result-record] (out-of-band-record)*
"(gdb)" nl
