Thanks Alexander!
I added some content on how to get xargs to better handle spaces and
punctuation (-0 and -d"\n" for instance). And I added a section about
the document's scope basically explaining that find | xargs is an
academic example, and that if all you're using is find and xargs,
you're better off doing just what you say above: Just using find -exec.
The changes have been added to

Thanks for your help.
