Definitely. "It" should be avoided as much as possible in technical
documentation. Thanks for pointing that out.

I used "ISO image" which is more consistent with our terminology than
"ISO" and less ambiguous than "content" (I think).

If you're looking for more easy documentation tasks, I would suggest
#6636 which is also OpenPGP oriented :) But I really don't mean to
pressure you → https://labs.riseup.net/code/issues/6636
