no the floss manual has a different goal: it is not the reference 
manual, but a textbook, a (hopefully) readable introduction to csound.

i just wanted to answer your question regarding the content.  you are 
right, that the information should be found in the canonical manual.  if 
not, opening a ticket at https://github.com/csound/manual/issues would 
be appreciated (or, even better, a pull request).
