Yeah, and I think that's okay as-is, or at least we can't make it better without fairly whole-sale changes of our documentation practices. The fact that a table name can be schema-qualified is usually implicit, and I don't see why this place cries out for making it explicit more than other places. You could as well complain that there's nothing explicit here about double-quoting practices. regards, tom lane
