I'd say that duni.conf is a reference, and you expect it to be an 
introductory document. A reference should be comprehensive. It is best 
used after you've grasped the basic concepts, and together with a text
search. Asterisk's "sample" configuration files actually serve a role 
of a reference.

If you were to look for an introduction-level document in the asterisk
source, you should have started in the /doc directory.

Sadly the documentation there is close to non-existing at the moment:
http://www.asterisk.org/doxygen/1.4/AstDUNDi.html

How did I find that page? I went to the doxygen-generated documentation
for 1.4:

  http://www.asterisk.org/doxygen/1.4/

In there, one non-trivial jump to the rest of the interesting
documentation:

  Related Pages

And there I can find some pretty handy documentation. If you have
anything more to comment on that, I guess the place for that is either
the (practically dead) asterisk-doc mailing list, or looking at some of
the work done on the admin guide for 1.6 .

(yeah, I know, patches are welcome, docs talk, whatever)
