+Summary: Cannot put xml documentation on indexers in interfaces.
+
+Please fill in this template when reporting a bug, unless you know what you
+are doing.
+Description of Problem:
+When using /docs:
+XML Documentation of indexers inside of interfaces is not permitted.
+For a public interface, documentation is required for the indexer,
+but putting it there gives a false CS1587 warning.
+Exists in gmcs and mcs (version 1.2.4.0)
+
+Steps to reproduce the problem:
+1. use gmcs -doc:foo.xml xmlerror.cs
+
+Actual Results:
+xmlerror.cs(25,9): warning CS1587: XML comment is not placed on a valid
+language element
+
+Expected Results:
+Successful compilation, xml documentation should be generated.
+
+
+How often does this happen? 
+Always
+
+
+Additional Information:
+I do not know how the microsoft compiler handles this.
+
+Contents of xmlerror.cs:
+Additional code is here to show that similar things do not cause problems.

+<code>
+///<summary>summary</summary>
+public class blah
+{
+	///<summary>summary</summary>
+	public static int Main(string[] args)
+	{
+		return 0;
+	}
+}
+
+///<summary>summary</summary>
+public interface Interface
+{
+	//Having the following summary will give warning CS1587.
+	//Expected: Adds happily to XML documentation.
+	
+	//Not having it will give warning CS1591.
+	//Expected: Exactly that.
+	
+
+	///<summary>Problem!</summary>
+	int this[int index]
+	{
+		get;
+	}
+}
