I can=E2=80=99t speak for why the request in question is t documented, but =
in
general as the documentation part of the XML protocol descriptors was a
later addition (roughly 10 years after the initial implementation if memory
serves), it=E2=80=99s a matter of someone just doing the work and migrating=
 any
existing documentation or writing new.

Glad you found what you where looking for.

If you feel important documentation is missing do create a merge request,
that=E2=80=99s the only way it will ever be improved

Regards,
Robert
