Gitattributes documentation

I have grown to like Gitattributes files. Something has always confused me about them though, which is how the -linguist-detectable works, but using linguist-documentation on true never works.

Here is an example:

Working YAML detection

*.yml linguist-detectable=true
*.yml linguist-documentation=false
*.yaml linguist-detectable=true
*.yaml linguist-documentation=false

Non-Working YAML detection

*.yml linguist-detectable=true
*.yml linguist-documentation=true
*.yaml linguist-detectable=true
*.yaml linguist-documentation=true

What does documentation mean in this sense?
