Is it considered good style to use acronyms in titles? I wouldn't do it.
Maybe it could be left as
26.1. Write-Ahead Logging
26.2. Benefits of Write-Ahead Logging
26.3. WAL Configuration
26.4. WAL Internals
because the former two talk about WAL in a general manner, while the
latter two are about our implementation. I also wouldn't expand the
acronym in a title.
