3560 QoS weirdness

Interesting command here:

Cat-1(config)#mls qos map cos-dscp ?
  <0-63> CoS values separated by spaces (up to 8 values total)

Hrm. CoS values don't go up to 63, DSCP values do. After playing with the
command a little I confirmed that they *are* looking for DSCP values here.

Cat-1(config)#do sh mls qos map Cos-dscp
   Cos-dscp map:
        cos: 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7
     --------------------------------
       dscp: 0 8 16 24 32 40 48 56

Cat-1(config)#mls qos map cos-dscp 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7
Cat-1(config)#do sh mls qos map Cos-dscp
   Cos-dscp map:
        cos: 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7
     --------------------------------
       dscp: 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7

So whatever you enter here changes the DSCP values. My question is simply ...
is there a reason for this or is it just a typo in the IOS? Maybe I'm missing
something, but the context-sensitive help looks to be leading the bit-flinger
directly down the wrong path. If there's a reason I'd really like the
enlightenment.

With a few exceptions, secrecy is deeply incompatible with democracy and with
science.
