Why not, if it describes user-level features?

No, there's an appendix called "MS-DOS" which describes mostly the DOS
port and a small number of Windows related issues.

This is not about completeness in any sense; perhaps the word "all" in
"all those w32-SOMETHING functions" misled you to think that is what I
was asking for. It isn't. There's a large number of issues specific
to using Emacs on Windows that is not explained anywhere in the Emacs
Manual. Some of the w32-SOMETHING functions and variables should be
made known to Emacs users because they provide essential features
without which some users would be simply lost. In addition, there are
quite a few Windows-specific issues not related directly to any
function or variable that should also be available in the manual.
