There's already a note about the (fn ...) convention, but if you have an
idea of something that would have been helpful to, please send us your
suggestion :-)

I think there were ways to keep some parts out of the printed manual,
but I'm not sure this is relevant to the ELisp manual any more: is it
still printed?

The FSF shop still carries the Emacs manual and the ELisp intro, but
I can't see the ELisp manual in there.
