John, Scott,
A top-level docu-comment (cute term!) is a good idea. I had already
proposed it in a different list (sorry: that was foolish), and my
suggestion is included below. The difference between that and what
y'all suggest is that I think we should not treat each file as a
complete documentation module, so the top-level tag I propose links in
to Federico's doc framework and does NOT turn C source files into doc
chapters.

I think this approach would work, but I am concerned about the
top-level organization of documenting a library API.
I'm re-reading Federico's excellent proposal for a GNOME doc
framework, and he seems to organize the docs by the directories and
files *in which the source code is located*.
What we need to do is figure out if that can work, or if we want to
put a tag at the top of each file.c that says something like
/**
* document_section_name: section-id-of-the-documentation
*/
A "further documentation" tag might also be useful: a canonical form
of the "see also" tag that people have proposed. It would contain the
"id" attribute of a human-written section that gives a background
relevant to this function.
