Ah, hmm.  Well, maybe it's fine the way that you have it.  But I'd be
tempted to at least add a sentence to the sgml documentation for each
option referring to the other, e.g. "To dump only schema for all
tables in the database, see --schema-only." and "To exclude table data
for only a subset of tables in the database, see
--exclude-table-data.", or something along those lines.
