In the past there was a "KDE Users Guide" that served as introductory
documentation.  Nowadays, we have the KDE Fundamentals [1]
documentation that serves a similar purpose.  It's still docbook
documentation that displays in the help center, but it's not an
"application handbook" per se. I believe this was the distinction it
was trying to make.

"sers guide" really isn't an appropriate term anymore.  Perhaps it
could be changed to something like "application handbooks and other
more general DocBook documentation such as KDE Fundamentals".
