Okay thats a point I hadn't thought of.  Though I'm not sure why we'd be
referencing outside sites.  Can we then change the CODING_STANDARD
example to NOT use the php.net website?  Hopefully stopping anyone from
using it as a reference to any php-specific documentation, and only for
external sites.

Then again, I don't understand what this parameter is for.  If not for the
developer to declare which help file this is in, what is the point?  Yes I
see the anchor tags option, but what is the difference between using an
anchor and declaring specifically?

It just seems that if this variable is going to be 90% of the time (random
guess) NULL, it's not really all the necessary to be included.

And judging from the comment by Gabor, the PHPDOC group isn't going to
change this format anytime soon.
