The indentation of the SGML file seems at odds with our conventions (we
don't use tabs, for one thing.)

You mention this:

However you don't mention anything about WAL captures. Mentioning that
PITR is one of these would be good.

In the last few paragraphs, the title is about Postgres-R but then you
comment on Slony-II. Should the title mention both?

s/those/these/ ?

Otherwise looks good to my untrained eyes.
