I agree with the errata, but there is very little in the "midrange" and the
similar 18F family reference manuals that isn't in the data sheet.  I gave
up on those years ago.  Every time I went to look for a little more detailed
information there wasn't any, so I stopped bothering.

The dsPIC documentation on the other hand is arranged differently.  There
the Programmer's Reference Manual describes the instruction set and the
Family reference manual describes the peripherals.  This information is NOT
duplicated in the data sheets.  The data sheets only give pretty useless
rough overviews of the peripherals.  The only purpose of the data sheet is
to provide the electrical specs and the specifics that vary from device to
device, like the pinout, memory sizes, and mix of peripherals.
