I've read related part of the documentation 4-5 times and couldn't
figure out the main difference between phantom and nonrepeatable read.
At last, I've googled and found an explanation in some Oracle
documentation. You know, not only hackers reading PostgreSQL docs.

For the second mvcc.sgml edit, there's a huge difference between "two
successive SELECT commands" and "two successive same SELECT commands".
