And let the users edit the syntax for the various commands? Reference
technical documentation != community driven documentation, they have
two complementary targets and purposes.

Also documentation is strictly coupled with the installed programs, I
don't want to read a wiki (updated to which version?) when I'm on a
server on moon alpha station and I have no Internet access, man page
will do.
