    I took a look here, and it didn't say (at least not in chapter
42)...what exactly does 'create domain' do?  We don't, and won't, have it
for v6.3, not with a release in a few days, and since I do recall anyone
else having mentioned it before, it isn't on our TODO list, but sounds
like something else to be added...

    But, a short description of what it does would be nice, as I've
never heard of that one before :)
