If you submit a doc patch, it'll get done ;-).
Seriously, the docs are all too much written by people who already knew
the answers. I like doc patches from people who found something out the
hard way, because they tend to put the info where they expected to find
it --- which isn't necessarily where the original developer thought to
document it, but *is* likely to be where other users would look.
