I have to disagree with this, you can have unlimited INI options if you
call them from your HAL file and as we all know this only confuses new
users when they see a snippet in the manual and assume that it is used
by LinuxCNC in some way other than how it is used to bring all the
settings to one location. The configurations should say in the INI file
that some settings are used by the HAL file and are only done this way
for convenience. When some sample configs use this and others do not it
only adds to the confusion.
Imagine your an adventurous type and you roll your own config. You
create a HAL file and load a pid component and by looking in the manual
you assume you put the P, I, D, FFx settings in the INI file... this is
so totally wrong and confusing to a newbee. I finally understand what
the code words (in HAL) mean :)

There are lots of INI option that are specific to certain components.
I think we just need to note that very few boards utilize it.
output_offset was in PNCconf for a long time until I figured out no
Mesa products use it!

Do those drivers read the output_offset from the INI file? If it is
driver specific it belongs in the driver chapter.

output_offset found in the INI section under servo needs some
clarification.
Not all components / boards use this feature.
For instance hostmot2 has no provision for output_offset on it's
pwmgen.
In fact it seems only servo to go and motenc honors this setting.
I guess that should be noted.
since there is quite a write up about it - it seems important yet
in fact
the common used boards don't use it.
This problem is surely in every version on our docs.
