Not sure what you mean. :-/

Good thought. With the present collaborative infrastructure, one of the
options that can be turned on (and probably worth doing so) is that when
someone edits a page directly, it's actually a "diff" of it that's
emailed to all the people that have "subscribed" to that page. Not sure
that this is what you meant, but worth mentioning.

Good point. Maybe someone embedding a tag in docs that can be scanned
for, showing the PostgreSQL version they're relevant for?
