Some Linux man pages in sections 2 and 3 seem to be more complete than the BSD equivalents, i.e. have examples or documentation of the used data structures. Take a look at nanosleep(3), for example. But I promise, as soon as I've found an appartment and have moved, I will start to change those kind of things when I discover them. But I think, generally speaking you are definitely right.
