			: ''<<< applies only to moving units (not buildings) >>>''
			:''Dock = preferred docking building [e.g., harvester -> refinery, helicopter -> helipad] (def=none)''
			...since the Type-specific flags are listed below that section, this comment does theoretically not exclude InfantryTypes as users of <tt>Dock</tt>. The Guide only lists AircraftTypes and VehicleTypes. If anyone has made entirely sure that InfantryTypes cannot dock to buildings, please alter this page accordingly. (Just because a simple VehicleType-like connection does not work, it's not automatically impossible.)
