As described in the docs there are only two things a prerequisite can do: impose order and effect the out-of-date decision of the target. Order-only prerequisites do one of them (impose order) and don't do the other (effect out-of-date decisions). What are the "considerably more" things that order-only prerequisites do, besides impose order? I do agree that the docs need clarification though.
