+I'm still having trouble compiling with: ListBase{string} and
+ListBase&lt;string&gt;
+
+According to the C# 3.0 (and I would assume 2.0) specification:
+
+The cref attribute can be attached to any tag to provide a reference
+to a code element. The documentation generator must verify that this
+code element exists. If the verification fails, the documentation
+generator issues a warning. When looking for a name described in a
+cref attribute, the documentation generator must respect namespace
+visibility according to using statements appearing within the source
+code. For code elements that are generic, the normal generic syntax
+(ie “List<T>”) cannot be used because it produces invalid XML. Braces
+can be used instead of brackets (ie “List{T}”), or the XML escape
+syntax can be used (ie “List&lt;T&gt;”).
