The -l option i saw as odd only in the sense that
user at host:... allows rsync to do it internally so it isn't
needed here.  I suggested the -p because i saw that as a
more likely option to be used.

It was the "Feel free" part that i saw as chatty.  I have
nothing against the chattiness it just wasn't consistant
with the style of the current rsync manpage.  The note about
.ssh/config is worthwhile.  It hadn't even occured to me.

Mea culpa.  My copy (at least) of the openssh manpage is out
of sync with the binary and didn't list the -1 or -2 options
(hope they never get past version 3 protocol :)
