Is it considered good style to use acronyms in titles?  I wouldn't do it.

Maybe it could be left as

     26.1. Write-Ahead Logging
     26.2. Benefits of Write-Ahead Logging
     26.3. WAL Configuration
     26.4. WAL Internals

because the former two talk about WAL in a general manner, while the
latter two are about our implementation.  I also wouldn't expand the
acronym in a title.
