Change some wording on MacPorts install page...?

I think it would be helpful to change something on Part 5 of the
macports install page:
http://trac.macosforge.org/projects/macports/wiki/InstallingMacPorts
It says:
Open a terminal window.
Execute the MacPorts selfupdate command.
port selfupdate
or for verbose output:
port -d selfupdate
Adding "sudo" would help us newbies and make it a pleasurable
experience:
Open a terminal window.
Execute the MacPorts selfupdate command.
sudo port selfupdate
or for verbose output:
sudo port -d selfupdate
Without the "sudo" one gets:
rsync: mkstemp "/opt/local/var/db/dports/sources/
rsync.rsync.darwinports.org_dpupdate_dports/devel/subversion-
javahlbindings/.Portfile.oow5Yw" failed: Permission denied (13)
rsync: mkstemp "/opt/local/var/db/dports/sources/
rsync.rsync.darwinports.org_dpupdate_dports/python/py-

rsync: mkstemp "/opt/local/var/db/dports/sources/
