Yeah.  I'm not sure whether the leader/worker protocol needs better
documentation, but the parts of it that are not common with the
frontend protocol should NOT be documented in protocol.sgml.
That would just confuse authors of frontend code.

I don't mind having constants for the leader/worker protocol in
protocol.h, as long as they're in a separate section that's clearly
marked as relevant only for server-internal parallelism.
