Doug,
I would be happy to write the documentation scooper, if someone 
will point the way.  I was already thinking about this.

Presumably the idea here would be to make the Class and Method 
comments "readable" in a more linear fashion textually.  Obviously 
they can all be read in the browser now.  But you can't easlily "scan 
across" lots of them at once, to get more of an overview, if you 
have to poke around with the browser.

So somehow assimilating and formatting them like 
"documentation", would make them more comprehensible.  It would 
also make lack of documentation more visible, so it can be 
added/corrected.

Any more thoughts on this?
