No, that's good enough, thanks. I was looking for that documentation in
window.el.

If you're arguing to remove the `q' mapping in
xref--xref-buffer-mode-map, that's a pretty circumstantial way to go
about it. And I disagree.
The user is in control either way (they can modify the above map just as
well), but the binding should be there by default because it's a part of
the core functionality. `xref-goto-xref' also calls `xref--quit', and
having one without the other by default would be weird.

The hooks won't be a real problem. Currently, it sets up none. If we use
buffer-list-update-hook, that it will fire at most once in each used
buffer, and then remove itself. There's no harm leaving it in, and
either way, it's a pretty unimportant detail.

Conceptually, doing things in a different way would correspond to a
different value of xref-show-xrefs-function. Everyone's welcome to try
creating a different interface.

While I like the sound of this, I'm having hard time imagining how xrefs
would work with back-forward buttons. Suppose the user performed a jump
to a definition. What contents will xref buffer have after that? The same?

That's trivial to implement (I'm thinking post-command-hook with sit-for
rather than a timer), but the hard part is creating, naming and
documenting the yet-another user option, as far as I'm concerned. Feel
free to try your hand at it.
