Boy, seems to be a popular sport lately. "Put Words In Bowie's Mouth". If
you'de read back, you'de notice that I dont have a problem with making
documentation part of the requirements for Gnome Compliancy. My problem
with it is making it -manditory-, because I know how much coders loathe
spending their time typing up formal documentation. Documentation will
likely be one of the requirements of higher Compliance Levels. Do your
homework, please.

Sure is. Its also not the coder's responsibility, or duty in
"professional" environments. Done wasting our collective time flaming yet,
JR?
