Ye-es.  I'd refrained from documenting this, because I figured it was
starting to get in to the realm of markup for markup's sake, rather than
because the information was going to be useful.

But, that's just my opinion.  If anyone thinks that marking up to this 
level is useful (or is sufficiently likely to be useful) to be worthwhile
then say so, and I'll apply that patch.
