Public bug reported:

This bug tracker is for errors with the documentation, use the following
as a template and remove or add fields as you see fit. Convert [ ] into
[x] to check boxes:

- [ ] This doc is inaccurate in this way: ______
- [ ] This is a doc addition request.
- [x] I have a fix to the document that I can paste below including example: input and output.

The warning clause in the first part has a few typos.
Here is a suggestion to a one (with hopefully no typos):

The use of the default availability zone name in requests can be very
error-prone. Since the users can see the list of availability zones,
they have no way to know whether the default availability zone name
(currently nova) is provided because a host belongs to an aggregate
whose AZ metadata key is set to nova, or because there is at least one
host not belonging to any aggregate. Consequently, it is highly
recommended for users to never ever ask for booting an instance by
specifying an explicit AZ named nova and for operators to never set the
AZ metadata for an aggregate to nova. This can result in some problems
due to the fact that the instance AZ information is explicitly attached
to nova, which could break further move operations when either the host
is moved to another aggregate or when the user would like to migrate the
instance.
