Right, that probably explains both of my points of confusion!

In that case, I would suggest including a direct reference to the node.

  ** The function 'display-buffer-in-major-side-window' no longer 
exists.
It has been renamed as internal function 
'window--make-major-side-window',
however applications should instead call 
'display-buffer-in-side-window'
(passing the SIDE and SLOT parameters as elements of ALIST).  This 
approach
is backwards-compatible with versions of Emacs in which the old 
function
exists.  See the node "(elisp) Displaying Buffers in Side Windows"
in the ELisp manual for more details.
