Did I miss something, or did you not provided arguments /why/ the
section should be moved? I need to understand what kind of improvement
it would provide to the manual.
> The Checkboxes section is written assuming the reader knows what Properties are. The GNU documentation guidelines suggest writing as though readers have read from the beginning [fn:1] [fn:2]. That is, unless introducing a concept, only use concepts that have already been explained. Properties are introduced in Section 2.7 and Checkboxes is currently 5.6. The proposal is to move Checkboxes to 2.6.1 *before* properties are introduced. This is a problem.
We start talking about properties as early as in 2.2.2 Initial
visibility and in many other places. Re-ordering the manual to avoid
referring to future concepts would entail a major rewrite.
