Peter,

 You should consider the documentation like a book.  That has two
 consequences:

 1. Linking to anything that is not a formal object (having a title and a
 number) does not render well in print.  ("for more information, see
 paragraph 3 on page 15"?)

I see what you mean. Given that I do 95% of my doc browsing in HTML, this seems very redundant to me, though; I think it would be interesting to see how many users refer to a paper version of the docs. We may find it's a tiny minority.

Well, just as a data point I DL/print the docs when I upgrade Postgres and keep the book on my shelf for reference. I may be a bit of a curmudgeon, but there isn't a computer display around that's as high-quality and portable as a piece of paper.
