 Since the protocol is a simple line based, its possible to manually connect to
 the server using a tool like netcat. A few things should be noted when manually
 using the protocol:
- * When subscribing to a stream using ``REPLICATE``, the special token ``NOW`` can
-   be used to get all future updates. The special stream name ``ALL`` can be used
-   with ``NOW`` to subscribe to all available streams.
- * The federation stream is only available if federation sending has been
-   disabled on the main process.
- * The server will only time connections out that have sent a ``PING`` command.
-   If a ping is sent then the connection will be closed if no further commands
-   are receieved within 15s. Both the client and server protocol implementations
-   will send an initial PING on connection and ensure at least one command every
-   5s is sent (not necessarily ``PING``).
- * ``RDATA`` commands *usually* include a numeric token, however if the stream
-   has multiple rows to replicate per token the server will send multiple
-   ``RDATA`` commands, with all but the last having a token of ``batch``. See
-   the documentation on ``commands.RdataCommand`` for further details.

 When a new connection is made, the server:
