I've been looking at how the patch series changes (traditional) htmldocs
generation, and this one is responsible for a lot of them.  Those changes
are almost all good!  There is a lot of cruft out there.  Just FWIW, I'm
going to add a patch putting "note|examples|" into the list, since those
appear to be intentional.
