ADDRESS_CLASS_README:
The most misleading place for me was the ADDRESS_CLASS_README
For "The virtual alias domain class" it says:
"Valid recipient addresses are listed with the virtual_alias_maps
parameter"
which is of course true, but there is nothing special about the virtual
alias domain class in that respect. After reading that readme, one could
be forgiven for thinking that the virtual_alias_maps would not be
applied to the other domain classes.
The virtual_alias_maps parameter should at least be mentioned in the
recipient address text of the other domain class explanations.
Perhaps another less confusing way to document it would be to describe a
"class-less" mode of operation that uses just the virtual_alias_maps and
transport_maps, and go on to say that class-full and class-less routing
can co-exist.
ADDRESS_REWRITING_README:
Resolve address to section
I think the virtual_alias_domain should be in both tables.
The first to show that this is a Postfix 2.0 feature and also to link to
the virtual_alias_domains parameter and to exhaustively document the
possible input domains. The delivery method for Virtual alias can be
stated as "Not Applicable".
Q: how would an entry in virtual_alias_maps like
localpart@$virtual_alias_domains localpart@$virtual_alias_domains be
handled? A: It would stay in $virtual_alias_domains and be handed to
{$transport_maps, $default_transport} ???
The second table should include Virtual Alias to again, exhaustively
document the possible inputs. Transport sources and next hop sources are
the same as Default domain class ???.
As far as I can tell, the only difference between virtual_alias_domains
and the default domain class, is that virtual_alias_domains will bounce
recipients not in virtual_alias_maps or canonical_maps? Please correct me.

I looked at docs (*README) and haven't found any.
I'd still prefer to explicitly note that virtual_alias_maps are applied
even for non-local e-mail
...you use "all email deliveries", I wonder if something like
"all emails processed (even non-local deliveries)" wouldn't be better.
Whether that helps depends on the reader's point of view. Som readers
e might be helped more with:
...all email deliveries (even local)...
Better, the virtual(5) text says
...all local, all virtual, and all remote...
which helps readers with all points of view.
I'll make this similar in virtual(5), aliases(5), 2x in postconf(5),
and 2x in ADDRESS_REWRITING_README.
