I am wondering if that could be possible to refactor our documentation to avoid the functional API documentation being lost in the existing XML and JavaConfig stuff with something organized like:

• Section about what is common to XML, JavaConfig and functional beans
• Section specific to XML
• Section specific to JavaConfig
• Section specific to functional beans

I have created #22171 which is about what I proposed in the previous comment.
