Sure, I totally agree.

I'm also entirely certain that the documentation as it stands fails at  
meeting (or at least is way before the standard it could be) in your  
criteria for (A), and therefore will fail to meet a good many other  
people's version of the same criteria.

As someone who has 'just got it', you are absolutely the best placed  
person to modify the documentation to add to the benefits (and maybe  
provide an example) as to make it more clear to people, so that the  
documentation _will_ fulfill that criteria for a broader range of  
people who happen to read it in future.
