I agree there.
If you want, you can link to a previous revision for details on how it can  
be handled in the older versions, For example, See the  
register_post_type() page:
<http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/register_post_type>
it specifically mentions that the content is now 3.1+, and if you need  
details for older versions, see the old revision it links to.
