I have no clue about the recommended docs toolchain.  I must not be,
since my docbook2man-spec.pl does not (seem to) accept command line
arguments.  I've built postgresql.tar, but man.tar is still giving
me fits. The built html files can be seen at
  http://rcfile.org/posthack/pgdocs/

What I am seeing from a fresh update (at 11:19 EST) is this.

sgml/xoper.sgml:116:     operators <literal><</> and <literal>></> for a particular data type are usually each
others'
sgml/xoper.sgml:117:     commutators, and operator <literal>+</> is usually commutative with itself.
sgml/xoper.sgml:118:     But operator <literal>-</> is usually not commutative with anything.
sgml/xoper.sgml:179:     For example, <literal><</> and <literal>>=</> are a negator pair for most data types.
sgml/xoper.sgml:242:    make sense if you think about it.  <literal>=</> will typically accept only
sgml/xoper.sgml:243:    a small fraction of the rows in a table; <literal><></> will typically reject
sgml/xoper.sgml:244:    only a small fraction.  <literal><</> will accept a fraction that depends on
sgml/xoper.sgml:248:    <literal><=</> will accept a slightly larger fraction than <literal><</> for the same
sgml/xoper.sgml:251:    rough guess anyhow.  Similar remarks apply to <literal>></> and <literal>>=</>.
sgml/xoper.sgml:359:     joins.  On machines that meet the <acronym>IEEE</> floating point standard, minus
sgml/xoper.sgml:389:     that can only succeed for pairs of values that fall at the <quote>same place</>
sgml/xoper.sgml:413:     In practice you should only write SORT clauses for an <literal>=</> operator,
sgml/xoper.sgml:414:     and the two referenced operators should always be named <literal><</>.  Trying
sgml/xoper.sgml:436:  There must be <literal><</> and <literal>></> ordering operators having the same left and
sgml/xoper.sgml:438:  operators <emphasis>must</emphasis> be named <literal><</> and <literal>></>; you do


confused,
