I traced this back to Thomas' commit of 11-June:

2002-06-11 11:32 thomas

* doc/src/sgml/: advanced.sgml, datatype.sgml, func.sgml,
release.sgml: Implement SQL99 OVERLAY(). [etc]

I groveled through the diffs pretty carefully, and found only a couple
of places that you'd missed. So I think we're okay for now. However,
if Thomas was using an edit script to fix that markup, the script
evidently needs more work before being used again ...

regards, tom lane
