Sure. I am totally new to jQ, so probably a food candidate to answer
some of these.
http://docs.jquery.com/Plugins/Validation/validate
That through me for a loop, is this an internal feature built into jQ,
or something I need to reference as a plugin? I can not find an
official answer to this. (thank you #jquery, I am clear on this now)
It looks like there is a lot of data here:
http://bassistance.de/jquery-plugins/jquery-plugin-validation/ and
that MS is hosting the files, but it is not at all clear to me if this
is officially supported.
I do not want to go into a lot of detail on that one... I used the
"milk" demo as a learning base, but comparing the way that code is
done, to the way the docs show it, is different enough that I was
confused. The docs do not explain why the demo is done one way, and
the docs illustrate another. This could just be me, not understanding
enough of this. So forgive me if I am way off base.
http://docs.jquery.com/Events/keypress
I spent a lot of time trying to get something like the above to work
reliably. The demo does not work with the delete key. It is not
clear if that is expected behavior, or a bug.
Unfortunately, I would have to go through each function to remember
where I ran into a little glitch. There are a good deal of little
things like this that I run into:
http://docs.jquery.com/Effects/hide
I am on the demo part for hide() and click on "Click to hide me too",
the page jumps and then "Hiya.Such interesting text, eh?" shows up.
That does not seem like a good hide example to me. At least, not
distilled down to the core example that I may want to see in order to
understand what it does. Looking at the source of the demo, I do not
really understand, we have a click that creates a button, and then a
button that does the hiding.
Duh, ok, I get it, the page jumped, and I was now in a different
demo. I am on a laptop, so this may not be a perfect case for your to
replicate. Though this is very illustrative of the type of confusion
I run into at times.
Loving jQ, and this is in no way a knock on it, and my post was mostly
in regards to the form validation stuff, which I do feel the docs need
worked over. The rest was more a comment about the OP stating that
the docs were not wiki style editable, which you have proven to not be
the case. Thank you.

As Karl mentioned, users registered for more then 24h can edit all
pages, with just a few exceptions, like the wiki homepage and the
About page.
So, could you guys be a bit more specific with your critique of
existing documentation?

docs? I thought it was a wiki style though? No one can edit?

There is
no excuse, for example, for not describing the copy/move behavior of
the append function. One in a mountain of necessary documentation
updates.
