Oh, I see my mistake.  Maybe the inclusion of a link to "CREATE SERVER"
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.1/static/sql-createserver.html in the
server_name definition would be helpful, just like in the data_type line.
I was having trouble making the leap since the idea was a new one on me.

different topic 1:

When I put the word "foreign" in the search area on this page
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.1/static/index.html
it does not find create foreign table.

different topic 2:
 
Is there a way to know what chapter you are in when on any page of the docs?
Maybe add to the navigation line at the top:

Home -> Documentation -> Manuals -> PostgreSQL 9.1 -> PUT YOUR CHAPTER HERE?

like this:

Home -> Documentation -> Manuals -> PostgreSQL 9.1 -> I. SQL Commands
