Summary: incorrect entry for -x in manual

Initial Comment:
Here is a line from the manual (http://curl.haxx.se/docs/manpage.htm, accessed May 12, 2012):

      -x, --proxy <[protocol://][user_at_password]proxyhost[:port]>

Isn't it missing sowething there between the "...word]" and the "proxy..." ?
Plus, the description of the -x option does not say what should be done if the password itself contains symbols like @ (at) or : (colon) . Are there any other characters which, if present in the password, which can create problems?
