Well, the fact that temporary and unlogged cannot be simultaneously
specified *is* documented:
CREATE [ [ GLOBAL | LOCAL ] { TEMPORARY | TEMP } | UNLOGGED ] TABLE [ IF
NOT EXISTS ] table_name
But it would probably be worth adding a note under the description of
temporary tables that they are, in fact, unlogged.

Steve
