It's unreasonable to expect official documentation for it.
The thing that started this and a few other threads is there not being a board doc. If you substitute "unpopulated headers" (as I copied from Bernd's text in my hurry) with "various connectors" the story remains exactly the same. If there is a board doc, it will at least be clear what is a board feature and what isn't. No-one has asked such questions about net4[58]x boards, as far as I can remember.
