Two years ago, I had the same problem. The cascading documentation
is not obvious when starting with gdal.
(My problem was a CMD LINE BUFFER EXCEEDED error using gdal_merge.py not
knowing that I can use the general option --optfile). Starting the
documentation with a brief description of the cascading structure will help
a lot.). I think Tim is another example.

Thanks, this really got me going.
I think the documentation could need some example here...
Tim,
I think it would lead to maintenance of documents.
Instead, it should be enough to remember that GDAL/OGR documentation
forms a kind of cascade.
- check general utilities doc [1] for options you need
-- not found, next, check utility specific doc [2]
--- if there is no option listed you are looking for
---- next step is to check driver specific options
----- so check driver doc
------ and here [3] you find what you need, creation option WORLDFILE
- back to general utility doc [1] to find how to pass creation option
and you get -co NAME=VALUE
