Yup, I agree with you. In fact, my stylesheet is designed to accept
"summary" and "remarks" as the document element (as well as other
elements, so that I can test the stylesheet itself) :-)

Actually, I've noticed that editing the entire document would also
be easy when we have to copy and paste the contents on things like
a couple of overloads. I mostly use text editor to write docs because
of this reason; writing raw XML is not so painful *for me* as
compared to editing content on monodoc, because browser.exe anyways
wants me to write raw <see>/<seealso> markups.

Well, I thought that the original idea is to receive more
contributions *via the web* (MediaWiki). Thus, what I've thought was,
kind of web forms (either simple HTML + submission form, or kind of
web applications).

If it is just a matter of input syntax, no further thought is needed ;-)
