At the moment the new superglobals are detailed in the manual but the information is quite well hidden, and many manual pages still refer to $HTTP_*_VARS as a preferable way of accessing variables.

This page in particular needs changing:

This bug has been fixed in CVS. You can grab a snapshot of the
CVS version at http://snaps.php.net/. In case this was a documentation 
problem, the fix will show up soon at http://www.php.net/manual/.
In case this was a PHP.net website problem, the change will show
up on the PHP.net site and on the mirror sites.
Thank you for the report, and for helping us make PHP better.
