I would agree on Chris' interpretation. We'll update the page if no one
objects.

I forgot to highlight it in "read" but I figured it needed to be debated. I
think it must be a uniform colour and in fact I think that colour should be
white (to detect the Opening, which will be dark inside from the wall).

That's it. I'm not sure how you could rewrite it more.

Right. I don't want people to build a transfer opening, then have a skirt of
stuff protruding out from underneath it, like whiskers or bumpers. When a robot
comes up to dock, it shouldn't need to figure out how far to extend a conveyor
or probe. Simply put, the TO is the furthest out protrusion on that side of the
robot.
