Subject line says it all. The manual does not respect the style of
other Emacs doc, such as the Elisp manual.

I'm not quite sure what you mean here. There's nodes like "Advanced
Cleaning Variables" -- what are you missing?

I think the problem is that doc/misc/dired-x.texi says stuff like
@table @code
@vindex dired-omit-mode
@item dired-omit-mode
[...]
Where it should say
@defvar dired-omit-mode
[...]
@end defvar

I don't speak Texinfo, but yes, probably.
To repeat: "Subject line says it all." Contrast the
Elisp manual, where variable descriptions are introduced
with `Variable' or `User Option', macros are introduced
with `Macro', and functions are introduced with `Command'
or `Function'.
See (elisp) `A Sample Variable Description'.

Ah, I see. Yes, that seems like something that should be fixed... and
I'll leave it for somebody else. :-)
