   The spec itself mention in down that "There are three types of row-level 
deletes:". 
   
   I agree that there are two kinds of deletes, position deletes and equality 
deletes. But encoding is really different. So, maybe ok to mention `three` 
here? If we are ok with three, current changes are good?
   
   
   > I do agree the problem the link to position delete files. We probably 
should remove the files from the linked section titles. In the position deletes 
section, the two types of file format can be described there.
   
   currently it is 
   
   ```
   ### Delete Formats
   #### Deletion Vectors
   #### Position Delete Files
   #### Equality Delete Files
   ``` 
   
   Are you suggesting to change?
   
   ```
   ### Delete Formats
   #### Position Deletes
   ##### Deletion Vectors -- moved under new section Position Deletes
   ##### Position Delete Files -- moved under new section Position Deletes
   #### Equality Delete Files
   ```
