Attached is a diff for subtransactions. I modified the SQL reference
section and touched on the various commands therein. I didn't mention
anything about cursors or portals, because I bet they will be resolved
before long.

I looked at the tutorial pages and the MVCC pages and I decided that
subtransactions don't really belong in either place. People who want them
will know they need them when they encounter a situation that demands
them. I see them being used mostly in PL/pgSQL type situations.

Maybe some documentation on the internals is warranted - but I don't know
nearly enough on that to do that task.
