Why is the exceptions documentation in the PHP5 OOP section of the manual?
Try/catch/throw would fit better in the Control Structures section, a catch acts much like an "if exception thrown" block.

Please submit doc problems as appripriately categorized bug reports. AFAIR it is documented there, because you throw an object... But this is a quite weak argument I understand :)
