I was looking for information related to preserving the display of a window and window splitting. That led me to both the sections on "Preserving Window Sizes" and "Splitting Windows" neither of which have references to the sections on Side Windows or Atomic Windows. The last two paragraphs in the "Displaying Buffers in Side Windows" section are key to understanding that one would want to use a side window when a non-splittable window is desired. I think a mention of that (and/or link) should be added near the beginning of the "Splitting Windows" section. It might save others a lot of time.
