I don't think the usage is really the same and I don't think it's 
applicable to the resource configurations,
but I will have a closer look at it.
But anyway, your links are very helpful nevertheless, because I guess we 
can learn from it at least and
also describe the differences in the documentation such that people 
don't get confused.

Thanks for sharing this
