Well, strictly speaking yes. If I want to know more about NH listed in
synopsis I can't find it further down. Though its description in
'nexthop' is incomplete, as well.

My personal focus is that non-terminals in synopsis are defined in there
as well, otherwise I can't parse and the thrown exception is hard to
clean off my screen. ;)

My assumption (actually what *I* do) is to search for terminals in order
to get more info. For instance, I would search for 'nexthop' or 'encap'
not 'NH'.

I guess the broader question is about the scope of non-terminals in
synopsis and description sections - I don't necessarily consider them
related.

Of course feel free to fix what you don't like, I'll review and (N)ACK
if you put me in Cc. :)

Cheers, Phil
