I'll be taking a look in the next few days as I'm writing an sdef parser and need some tasty source material to try it out with.:) I'll be sure to send feedback on anything I find.

Yep. Nature abhors a vacuum, programmers doubly so. I think the real value of the <documentation> element's presence is that it'll motivate developers to think harder about what additional information they need to say beyond the fixed minimum requirements of the aete/sdef formats. And I hope that as areas of common information start appearing ad-hoc fashion in multiple applications, Apple will evolve the sdef format to incorporate the most useful bits as formal elements.
Cheers,
