Summary: sqlite3 documentation omits: close(), commit(), autocommit

Initial Comment:
The Python 2.5 Library documentation (HTML format), Section 13.13 (sqlite3) fails to mention several important methods of Connection objects.  Specifically, the close() and commit() methods.  Considering that autocommit mode is not the default, I'm not sure how a user is supposed to figure out that they need to call these methods to ensure that changes are reflected on disk.  (The only reason I discovered these was from http://initd.org/tracker/pysqlite/wiki/basicintro .)

Furthermore, Section 13.13.5 mentions the existence of "autocommit mode", but fails to describe what that mode is and why it might be useful.
