I have bought the book a few years ago: i talk about RPM 4.1. The online version lacks some chapter also.

MAXIMUN RPM is all about RPM  3.0.x - used in redhat 6.2 if i remember correctly and yes, also on AIX 5.3

Today we have at least 4.4.3.x.y.z(www.rpm.org), Mandriva also 4.4.6. Some evolution and new features have occurred from 4.1

I have both this and Maximum on my hard disk and indexed for searching
on single words with swish-e.

Yes. grep -ir for examples in /usr/lib/rpm.

The above hasn't anything to do with Boolean switches but is given with
the Requires: and/or BuildRequires: definitions.
