+From ECMA 334 (3rd Edition) Annex E (nominal Page 479 in the spec PDF):
+
+<blockquote>
+E.1 Introduction
+
+Comments having a special form can be used to direct a tool to produce
+XML from those comments and the source code elements, which they
+precede. Such comments are single-line comments of the form /// … or
+delimited comments of the form /** … */. They must immediately precede
+a user-defined type (such as a class, delegate, or interface) or a
+member (such as a field, event, property, or method) that they
+annotate. Attribute sections are considered part of declarations, so
+documentation comments must precede attributes applied to a type or
+member.
+</blockquote>
+
+Thus this is a bug in NUnit.
+
+(Hint: ECMA 334 does not specify that /*** is *not* a delimiter for
+XML doc comments.)
