Just one question - what is the difference between ram_size and
vram_size? If the former is successor of the latter, I think we should
be using the ram_size and drop vram_size and not pollute XML at all.
However, if there's any difference we should document that. That is,
every XML snippet being introduced must go hand in hand with extending
docs/format*.html.in.
