I think we should go for a separate reference page, as VALUES appears  
to be expanding quite a bit. Up till now I've thought of VALUES only  
in conjunction with UPDATE, so perhaps a useful alternative would be  
to keep all of the information regarding VALUES and its syntax would  
be as a large part of the UPDATE reference page, though that would  
imply by placement (even if explained otherwise) that VALUES is only  
a part of the UPDATE syntax, which it no longer (?) is. That brings  
me back to the idea of VALUES deserving its own reference page.

I wonder how soon pretty much the entire SQL spec will be duplicated  
in the PostgreSQL documentation. :)
