One small suggestion:
     <listitem>      <para>       Have <quote>session id</> (<literal>%c</>) in <link
linkend="guc-log-line-prefix"><varname>log_line_prefix</></link>      always output four hex digits after the period
(BruceMomjian)      </para>     </listitem>
 

This doesn't sound quite right - on OS X at least, PIDs go up to
99998, which means
%c may output 5 hex digits after the period. The following might be
more pedantically
accurate:
     <listitem>      <para>       Have <quote>session id</> (<literal>%c</>) in <link
linkend="guc-log-line-prefix"><varname>log_line_prefix</></link>      always pad the PID value with zeros so at least
fourhex digits are       displayed after the period (Bruce Momjian)      </para>     </listitem>
 

if my slightly disengaged brain is grokking the source correctly:

src/backend/utils/error/elog.c: appendStringInfo(buf, "%lx.%04x", (long) (MyStartTime), MyProcPid);
