Well, I haven't repsponded because I did not discover your suggestions. After reading your suggestions, find your suggestions for sane_init() and sane_set_io_mode() very good. It documents the current behaviour and make the standard easier to understand. I have no opinion on the other issues, as I have no experience with these problems. I'd suggest you include your changes for those two at least.
