There is a difference between things that are purposely undocumented because RS doesn't want to commit to them, and thingns that are undocumented simply because they are prehistoric (i.e. predate anyone on the engineering and documentation staff) and have simply been overlooked. Most of the templates in question fall into the latter category, I believe. So feature requests to have them documented are appropriate. > RB has a lot of things like that... > features the engineers may have added on purpose for us to use but > never make it into the documentation ... so they don't get used by > most. I don't think that happens much anymore; they have good procedures (like detailed release notes, which seem to be read by the documentation staff) for getting new features into the docs. The main problem seems to be obscure prehistoric features.
