	Hello, I'm using R 1.6.2's survival2.9-6 package, and I just thought
I'd note that it took me a long time to realize that the
coxph.detail()$hazard was a centered hazard (centered at the exponentiated
average covariate times beta), not a baseline hazard.  The documentation
simply says "the hazard increment".  I don't know if this has been clarified
in the latest version of R, but it would probably prevent confusion to state
that it is a centered hazard.

Thank you,
Hormuzd Katki
