Just FYI, in case any pkg team members want to provide their input on updated
details to the man page team.   (BTW, is it really supposed to be pkg(1) and
not pkg(1m) ? )

=== *Description* ============================================================
The attributes(5) man page in Solaris 11 currently says:

  Availability
     This refers to the software package which contains  the com-
     mand  or  component  being  described on the man page. To be
     able to use the command, the  indicated  package  must  have
     been  installed. For information on how to add a package see
     pkgadd(1M).

  [...]

  SEE ALSO
     uname(1), pkgadd(1M), Intro(3), standards(5)


However, for the operating system packages that have this attribute, the command
needed to install them in Solaris 11 is pkg(1), not pkgadd(1m).
