I said "near", not "in". At the time I was thinking "new appendix",
but I now recall that the wire protocol docs are not an appendix
but a chapter in the Internals division. So that doesn't seem like
quite the right place anyway.
Perhaps a new chapter under "IV. Client Interfaces" is the right
place?
If we wanted to get aggressive, we could move most of the nitpicky details
about datatype text formatting (e.g., the array quoting rules) there too.
I'm not set on that, but it'd make datatype.sgml smaller which could
hardly be a bad thing.

Yup.
