Hi Nishad -- welcome to Xapian! If you find any of the documentation
is confusing or missing pieces (and there are definitely gaps), please
do point them out so we can put them on a list, and try to get them
fixed. (If you want to suggest improvements directly, then that's
great too, but don't worry if you just spot something wrong or
confusing and don't know what needs to change.)

I think you've discussed with Olly on IRC about adding more
normalizations to our TF/IDF support, so I won't respond to that part
of your email.
