      Change
      Functions and operators that accept complex numbers shall accept Text values as complex numbers (see the section on convert to complex), as well as Numbers that are not complex numbers, so IMSUM("3i";4) will produce the same result as COMPLEX(4;3).

      to

      Description

      The fourth paragraph under 3.4 Complex Number reads:

      ***
      Note that functions and operators that accept complex numbers shall accept Text values as complex numbers (see the section on convert to complex), as well as Numbers that are not complex numbers, so IMSUM("3i";4) will produce the same result as COMPLEX(4;3).
      ***
      If Text and Number values are automatically converted, then how does COMPLEX() accept Text values?

      By the time the value reaches COMPLEX() it is a complex number.

      Yes?
