If I understand it well, if someone installs SDO, he automatically
gets sdo_das_xml. So my idea was that it should be documented
together, in one section and one function list. But it can be
discussed further, others might have other opinion.

BTW, in sdo_das_xml/reference.xml is:

Is this true and additional installations steps will be documented
later or "no" is simply missing?

If you want it to leave it separate and others don't mind, leave it. I
think "one chapter - one directory" is good rule and there's no need
to move one directory to the other.

docs.php.net runs on Livedocs and ./configure is needed to get new
sections AFAIK. I'm not sure if it is done periodically or manually.

It will get promoted to php.net with the next manual built done by
Derick from time to time (sometimes weekly, sometimes quarterly :-)).
