The reason are what Joshua already said. If the user has a great doc
(msdn) at hand, they will just move to look there and not to use mono
docs, because what they care is having a good doc and not where that
doc come from (well, most part of the users). But that is just my
opinion.

Hey, Ben, I think you took my email as an attack to the msnd doc,
which is not. I think is a great tool, I was just wondering if it
could have some negative effects including it on monodoc. Maybe it
will be better to keep separate. But maybe I'm wrong.

hey, I would like to be aware of that. I think that will solve a bug in elabel!
