Non-authenticated users actually have access, but there is no link
provided. E.g.
http://wiki.nginx.org/index.php?title=Main&action=history

In official documentation we've introduced formal <apperead-in>
tag, e.g.
http://trac.nginx.org/nginx/browser/nginx_org/xml/en/docs/http/ngx_http_ssl_module.xml#L219
Though in more or less nontrivial cases like new directive
parameters and so on - inline notes are unavoidable.
