Probably the thing that helps most people is examples, since
a lot of people prefer to learn by example [personally I find
examples annoying, either they are redundant, in which case
what's the point? or they are essential, in which case you
end up trying to guess general rules by looking at specific
examples, but I quite understand that many people have an
easier time learning from examples than from complete
descriptions.]

So I would think that a systematic set of examples of the use
of the Annex A functionalities would be a useful project to
many people.
