Most definitely. The current state is the direct result of
contributors not having the energy to elaborate more, and thus refer
to existing documentation whereever possible. Referring to existing
documentation is a good thing, especially as the behaviour might
change across systems. 

However, contributions to improve the documentation would be most
welcome. Contributors should phrase the documentation carefully to
point out potentially differences in behaviour across
systems. E.g. the set of errno values you can get from a specific
system call can vary, as does the set of available socket options,
fcntl functions, etc.
