> How about this ...
Sounds ok to me. How about merging 2 and 3 into the following for paragraph:

"Otherwise, /var/run/basename.pid shall be read in a similar fashion. If this
contains one or more numeric values on the first line, these values shall be used.
Optionally, implementations may use unspecified additional methods to locate the
process identifiers required."

> ALSO need to add something here about creating the pidfile for start_daemon.
Hmm, I'm not that sure whether start_daemon needs to do so, but I think it
should not do so automatically. For sure, it can be best done in the daemon
itself. From Debian's `man start-stop-daemon` regarding --make-pidfile:
"NOTE: This feature may not work in all cases. Most notably  when the  program
being executed forks from its main process. Because of this it is usually only
useful when combined with the --background option.

More interestingly is probably the nice level (Debian --nicelevel n  or -N n;
SUSE: [-n ]+/-<prio>), Chroot ("-d|--chdir" vs. "-c" <chrootdir>), GID
(-g|--group vs. -g) or UID (-u|--user vs. -u).
