Dynamic background workers & docs question - Mailing list pgsql-hackers

I was looking at http://www.postgresql.org/docs/devel/static/bgworker.html with a client today.

It says:
"Unlike RegisterBackgroundWorker, which can only be called from within the postmaster,RegisterDynamicBackgroundWorker must be called from a regular backend."

Is that the correct restriction? In particular, don't we allow calling RegisterDynamicBackgroundWorker from another background worker? (In the launcher/worker kind of scenario, like AutoVacuum).

Also:
"Background workers are expected to be continuously running; if they exit cleanly, postgres will restart them immediately. "

This doesn't apply to dynamic ones, which we might want to clarify. Do we have a "term" for non-dynamic background workers? "static workers"?
