Yes, but I didn't offer any particular opinion on that. It seems good 
enough, although I'd remove, or move out, the references to etags 
commands: the section is named Xref, tags-* commands are not part of it.

With the two new additions, we could feel more confident doing that.

There's no direct counterpart to tags-search, but I think it can be 
adequately replaced with dired-do-find-regexp or 
project-or-external-find-regexp.

Fair enough. Thanks for considering it.
