  org-element-at-point, org-element-context): Be more verbose in
  docstrings.  Also fix typos.

+  PROPERTIES is the list of attributes attached to the element or
+  object, as a plist.  Although most of them are specific to the
+  element or object type, all types share `:begin', `:end',
+  `:post-blank' and `:parent' properties, which respectively
+  refer to buffer position where the element or object starts,
+  ends, the number of white spaces or blank lines after it, and
+  the element or object containing it.  Properties values can be
+  obtained by using `org-element-property' function.
+
+  CONTENTS is a list of elements, objects or raw strings
+  contained in the current element or object, when applicable.
+  One can access them with `org-element-contents' function.
+
+The Org buffer has `org-data' as type and nil as properties.
+`org-element-map' function can be used to find specific elements
+or objects within the parse tree.

+This function assumes that current major mode is `org-mode'."
