OTOH, url is the documentation of a package. I do not know what the exact relevance of "deliberately excluded from the Emacs" is. What it definitely does _not_ mean is that it is unimportant. Due to the fact that we have to keep the size of the physical Emacs manual down, we can unfortunately not include all important info in the Emacs manual. Things included in emacs-xtra could very easily be of more interest to most people than, say, url, which many people may never use. Sincerely, Luc.
