Thanks. I have applied this to the SGML docs.

I didn't see in the notes about the "Migration to
version 7.4" the fact that now inside a plpgsql
function is not anymore accepted declare a variable
in this way:
my_variable ALIAS FOR$1
(note the space missing between FOR and $1).

Do you think people are actually doing that, and if they are, wouldn't it be obvious how to fix it?

It would probably be good if these two history items:
* Dollar sign ($) is no longer allowed in operator names
* Dollar sign ($) can be a non-first character in identifiers
were mentioned in the "incompatibilities" section.

Anyone else? I had a novice here that was lost because an old well functioning stored procedure was not working anymore. Just my 2 cents. Regards Gaetano Mendola
