I was not talking about that ambiguity, but rather about this:
\fB\-w\fR FILE
-FILE exists and is writable
+FILE exists and is writable. True indicates only that the write flag is
on.
+The file is not writable on a read-only file system even if this
+test indicates true
.TP
\fB\-x\fR FILE
-FILE exists and is executable
+FILE exists and is executable. True indicates only that the execute flag
+is on. If file is a directory, true indicates that file can be searched
.
That's what on OpenBSD's manpage and I think it could be added too.
