Sure, sounds like a useful thing to mention... feel free to file a bug 
against the HIG with the suggestion.

FWIW I don't like some of the examples we have there already-- there's 
far too much information in them that would be overkill for most 
situations-- so I'd like to think we'll be revamping this section a bit 
for the next release anyway :)

Cheeri,
