I'd vote for reverting for now. If someone wants to run through the
docs and make considered decisions about where the more verbose style
is a win and where it isn't, then we could make the style change.
But that does not seem like a high-priority task --- and at the moment,
what we've got is a huge pile of docs that were written with the
less verbose style of markup in mind. So my bet is that there's a lot
of places where more-verbose is not a win.
