While I'm delighted to see this feature appear at last, I am a little concerned that some developers may go over the top with adding sdef-embedded HTML documentation, leading to huge XML files that are a chore for developers to write and maintain and take a non-trivial amount of time to parse when all that's needed is the basic name-code translations needed to compile/execute scripts. I wonder if it'd be possible for the more extensive documentation to be put in separate help files within the application bundle, which could then be opened in, say, Help Viewer by clicking a hyperlink embedded in the sdef documentation?
Thoughts?
