I can agree with this asserting when the text points to some abstract
message, like "The server then sends an appropriate authentication
request message" (because there are several kinds of authentication
messages). But for the concrete messages, there are consistency like
"The frontend must now send a PasswordMessage containing the
password", or "in the normal case the backend will send some
ParameterStatus messages", except the "During this phase the backend
will attempt to apply any additional run-time parameter settings that
were given in the startup message."
