The potential absence of sufficient detail elsewhere should be corrected instead of making this description more vague. Specifically, probably XLogWrite should be added to the WAL overview as part of this update and probably even have the descriptive section of the documentation note that the number of times that said function is executed is exposed as a counter in the wal statistics table - thus closing the loop.
