If a committer wants to state the single place in the documentation to put
this I'm content to put it there while leaving my reasoning of choices in
place for future bike-shedding.  My next options to decide between are the
appendix or the lead chapter in Data Types. It really doesn't fit inside
DDL IMO which is the only other suggestion I've seen (and an uncertain, or
at least unsubstantiated, one) and a new chapter meets both criteria Tom
laid out, so long as this is framed as more than just having to document
null values.
