What is unclear about it? Drew thinks the doc string should say
something about stand-alone minibuffer frames, but only Drew can
explain why. The doc string talks specifically about the echo-area,
and about the situation where tooltips are shown in the echo-area; it
says nothing about minibuffers or minibuffer-only frames.
