Yes I saw the section you did. I think it is good. Its short and to the point. 
Just what admins want and refers to relevant man pages.

I will see if I can get some time to insert the @id so it will work in yelp. 
The more I play with the yelp the more I prefer the static method of 
generating presentation views. Yelp is just so limiting I can't see why 
people want to use it. But then that's users for you. Oh well. 

When I was a netadmin I used to say that if I did not want network problems 
all I had to do was kill all my users. Recently I read another good one, 
something to the effect of "Each time we make our program more user-friendly 
the bring out an even dumber user."
