My initial thoughts were to add a new section,
but was not sure if it made sense since there
will only be a single function. Well, that’s not a good
reason and we may add some more in the future.

Also, the “Transaction ID and Snapshot Function” section is
probably the wrong section because the mxid’s/xid’s may
not have been committed. So I will correct. I will also add
a reference In maintenance.sgml
