I don't follow completely.  What was changed was that instead of
documenting that PGCLIENTENCODING is equivalent to SET client_encoding,
it was changed to say that PGCLIENTENCODING corresponds to the
client_encoding connection option, and the client_encoding connection
option documents that it is similar to the client_encoding server
parameter.  Maybe some wordsmithing could be applied, but I don't think
any information was actually removed.

Don't know.  Maybe Heikki could comment; he wrote that initially.

Sounds good to me.
