Sengor - Thanks for explanation / clarification. I'm happy to include this in the official documentation.
Documentation is located in an SVN repository ( http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/libcloud/site/trunk/content/docs/) so if I don't get to it in the next couple of days you can create a patch yourself and submit it on JIRA and I will commit it as soon as possible.
