I think it might be worth mentioning something about the domain
coordinator having the ability to turn automatic ownership for course
coordinators on.  Unless I'm missing something, it seems like if the DC
enables automatic ownership, then it may appear that this feature is
missing from the course preferences.

Everything else looks good.  Not a big deal, but you may want to clean
up the excess return characters and there is one item with double
parenthesis under the Accessibility heading.  I was able to easily read
and use these release notes except for the co-ownership information
above.
