Re: Generated related pages too generic

We can already manually specify additional stuff. On that note though, we
should float manually related links up to the top of the section. Putting
the generated list under. Currently the generated list appears first, then
any manual links.

On the note of improving, one idea (at least for HTML attributes) is the
"Applies to" stuff. Is there some way we could take that (and find a
comparable section in other areas) and say anything else that can apply to
this element, should be related? That way at least what is shown is more
targeted to things that would apply in conjunction with that attribute. I'm
not sure about other areas of the docs though off the top of my head. This
just hit me looking over the template.
