Actually, you can document namespaces already, but it needs to be done in an
external file IIRC. I don't remember if the MS tools can use it, or if you
need to use NDoc. If you do a bit of a search, you should be able to find
some information about it. Unfortunately the project where I used it was 2
computers ago and I don't seem to have put my build scripts and the
namespace documentation into source control.

If I find more info, I'll post it to this thread.
