OK by me --- that, too, would be more like the existing catalogs

Yeah, so I'd like to propose the attached patch.

Hmmm ... I'm not exactly convinced about sticking xreflabels onto
the <sect2>s as you've done here.  Presumably that would make <xref>s
render like "pg_stat_slru" not "Section 27.2.3", which I think is
not consistent with our practice elsewhere.  I'd be inclined to
leave the id attributes on the <table>s, and add xreflabels there
if we want them.

I see that catalogs.sgml doesn't really match either of those approaches,
though.  Not sure if we want to change it.  It looks like people have
tended to use <link> to substitute text for xref's to the catalog
sections, so maybe it would be better to add xreflabels there too
and simplify the references.

Yeah, since I think that using <xref> is simpler than <link>, I added xlabel
in <sect2>. But if we don't do that for the consistency with catalog.sgml,
I think that there are two approaches.

(1) Replace <xref> with <link> when referencing to the monitoring views
        docs. For example, add <sect2 id="monitoring-pg-stat-relication-view">
        and replace <xref linkend="pg-stat-replication-view"/> with
        <link linkend="monitoring-pg-stat-replication-view">.

(2) Leave <xref> as it is. In this case, for example,
        <xref linkend="pg-stat-replication-view"/> references to the table
        of pg_stat_replication instead of the section.

I prefer (1) because it's better to reference to the section rather than
the table. There are thirty <xref> for monitoring views in the docs and
they need to be updated.

Attached (monitoring_docfix_v2.patch) is the patch for (1).

I also attached the patch 
(update_release_note_for_monitoring_stats_views_v1.patch)
that updates the tags referencing to pg_stat_xxx views in release note.
I will propose this to Bruce if we can agree with the changes in 
monitoring.sgml.
