I'm coming in a bit late on this, but.... Shouldn't all ecma doc related
stuff be in ecma-provider.cs? If I understand the browser code,
Provider.cs should ideally just be a generic class that all providers
(regardless of their content domain) should  extend? 

Unless I've misunderstood the code, I think it would be really nice to
factor out all the ecma-specific stuff from provider.cs? Things like
MemberLookup, TypeLookup etc, are all meaningless to an XHtml provider.
Which means when I'm implementing the XHtml provider, extending from a
class (provider.cs) that has all sorts of language doc features feels
like a weird abstraction...

Should hopefully have a patch ready for inspection tonight for the Xhtml
provider - still don't handle embedded images yet, but it works enough
to be useful. I think. :)

Lee.
