Uh, I see you tried to do it in 2003:
http://www.postgresql.org/message-id/20545.1068921919@sss.pgh.pa.us

and I see you doing it in 2005:
commit 7da8623a562d3f6c25363796ed3df086a4da4594Author: Tom Lane <tgl@sss.pgh.pa.us>Date:   Sun Jan 9 18:58:10 2005
+0000   Last batch of updates in response to 7.4 interactive docs comments.
 

I assumed you were still doing it, but I don't see anything post-2005,
so I am concerned we have not been doing it recently.  Can someone
confirm this and perhaps do it for post-2005?
