Nitpick.

...returns a list value for each element of LIST...

It took me a while to get my head 'round that. Once you do the docs make more sense.

    That would make it more confusing, to me. It already says 'evaluates something for each element in list', thus 'returns a list of the results' cant mean anything but 'list of evaluated somethings for each element in list' ... or not?

    That edit makes the definition imprecise. map can return multiple list values for each element of LIST.
