<listitem>
<para>
Specifies the maximum number of errors tolerated while converting a
column's input value to its data type, when <literal>ON_ERROR</literal> is
set to <literal>ignore</literal>.
If the input contains more erroneous rows than the specified
value, the <command>COPY</command>
command fails, even with <literal>ON_ERROR</literal> set to
<literal>ignore</literal>.

then above description not meet with following example, (i think)
create table t(a int not null);
COPY t FROM STDIN WITH (on_error set_to_null, reject_limit 2);
Enter data to be copied followed by a newline.
End with a backslash and a period on a line by itself, or an EOF signal.
>> a
>> \.
ERROR: null value in column "a" of relation "t" violates not-null constraint
DETAIL: Failing row contains (null).
CONTEXT: COPY t, line 1, column a: "a"
Overall, I think
making the domain not-null align with column level not-null would be a
good thing.
<para>
Specifies how to behave when encountering an error converting a column's
input value into its data type.
An <replaceable class="parameter">error_action</replaceable> value of
<literal>stop</literal> means fail the command,
<literal>ignore</literal> means discard the input row and
continue with the next one, and
<literal>set_to_null</literal> means replace columns containing
erroneous input values with <literal>null</literal> and move to the
next row.
"and move to the next row" is wrong?
I think it should be " and move to the next field".
