Here is an incomplete patch. I fixed all the markup errors, typos and
similar issues you mentioned and a few more that I noticed.

Someone that knows Tkinter better than me should take care of the
remaining issues, i.e.:
 * is Xlib still used?
 * bmp files on Windows
 * the section about Canvas

3.x specific issues:

1. In most of the places I think it's OK to use 'Tkinter' and use
:mod:`tkinter` only when referring specifically to the module. I also
fixed other :mod:`Tkinter` around in the Doc.

2. Both fixed.

3. Fixed. I also changed *tkinter* to :mod:`tkinter`. I don't know about
Xlib.

Not 3.x specific:

I used 'manN' and added the link you provided (even if right now the
site seems down so I can't verify if it's correct).

> Tk was written by John Ousterhout while at Berkeley. "

Done.

> 12. 24.1.6.6. Tk Option Data Types
> "To specify an X bitmap filename, give the full path to the file,
> preceded with an @, as in "@/usr/contrib/bitmap/gumby.bit"."
> *nix only? what about windows .bmp file?

Does someone know the answer?

> 13. (ttk section) 24.2.3.1. Standard Options
> "0, 1 or an empty is return." => "0, 1 or an empty string is 
> returned."

Fixed.

> PS. I like the colors of the option-description tables.

Thank Raymond for them.
