Package booktabs encourages users not to use vertical rules. With the
extra spacing the package adds, vertical rules are cut into pieces,
which makes them quite unusable. Concerning other packages, should they
be mentioned (packages that enhance core functionality) or not mentioned
at all. This is a manual describing core LaTeX2e, right?

I think `entry' has the meaning of both, row and cell here. Looking at
\multicolumn, the row is referred to, looking at \vline, is would be
the cell. But who ever uses \vline anyway?
Personnally I never use \vline, but only in the context of defining a
new specifier with \newcolumntype and redefining | that could be
useful. For instance
\newcolumntype{|}{!{\vrule width 1.5pt}}% redefine
\newcolumntype{I}{!{\vline}}
\begin{tabular}{|lIl|}
a&b\\
c&d\\
\end{tabular}
Maybe it would be good to describe somewhere how to do thicker/thiner
rules, there is the booktab / easytable packages (I never use them...),
but also A. Kessi's macro (see
http://www.grappa.univ-lille3.fr/FAQ-LaTeX/7.5.html).
I have not checked ever package tabu, it probably also proposes things
for making (h|v)rules.
Between cells, if the need ever arises, one would use `|'. Adding
this to the between/before/after confusion, i agree with you and would
drop that half sentence.
Let us see what Karl writes, I agree that it may be useful to have such
a sentence, but I am concerned that then, every-time we need to add
a entry / reorder entries in the menu, this sentence needs rewording.

I suggest to simply remove ", the first two inside an entry and the
second two between lines", unless anybody has a better wording.
