I couldn't agree more. More documentation is definitely a good thing,
and good documentation submissions are always welcome. If you can match
what the format that is there already (for example you mention the pbuf
code) that would help give some consistency, but if you think there's a
good reason to do otherwise I'd rather see "documentation in your
preferred format" than "no documention".
