I'm preparing the pre-PEP of a Money module, and I don't want to explain the rounding methods there again. So my idea was to point to Decimal documentation regarding them. And I couldn't find them. Could it be we missed the explanation of each rounding mode in the Decimal docs? Or the sprints burned my head?

My suspicion is that someone at some point thought that Cowlishaw was sufficient; we probably should write some base-level docs that explain the Python mechanisms and refer to Cowlishaw for details.
