I make notice of the downcase spelling here :-) For me as a user it would
be enough if every documentation part could be entered in Wiki style
and transformed when the whole thing is parsed. I know too little about
Wiki implementations but there is a quite solid one based on Python
http://moin.sourceforge.net/. Maybe the documentation chunks can be
piped through a Wiki->HTML/XML translator which must be somewhere within
the code?

I don't know how to extract the doc nodes with an XSLT tool at all, as
they defy XML grammar!
