How can we correct the camera calibration tutorial?

Dear OpenCV developpers, I've checked the camera model used in openCV and it appears that there are inconsistencies between http://docs.opencv.org/2.4/modules/calib3d/doc/camera_calibration_and_3d_reconstruction.html

and

http://docs.opencv.org/3.0-last-rst/doc/tutorials/calib3d/camera_calibration/camera_calibration.html

The first is coherent with the Bouguet camera toolbox model and with the code of the function initUndistortRectifyMap in modules/imgproc/src/undistort.cpp

But in the second page (tutorial) the distorsion is described to be applyed in the wrong order.

Could the tutorial be corrected? may be the wrong desciption of the model should just be removed and a link to the right one can replace it. I lost a long time to figure out which version was correct so may be we can save the time of other users....
