That is completely intentional. Almost all readers of the documentation will 
first need to understand the difference between text and tail before they can 
go and think about any more advanced use cases that will almost certainly fail 
on their first serialisation attempts. The most important aim of the new 
phrasing is therefore to make that difference clear. Everything else is 
secondary, although still worth mentioning.
