I think we are streaching the meaning of <description> way beyond what is what defined for.
<description> is used by -projecthelp to generate online help on a terminal console. It was not conceived as a javados style facility.
If we want to provide something like <xdoc> or <antdoc> to ducument ANT buildfiles, Then I think we should go for a diferent kind of element using the new facilityes that can allow retrieving XML fragments.

Looking at the source I see <description> was intended to be the description for the project only.
There is an enhancement request in bugzilla now: ID 28729
It introduce an <annotation> element that can take place overall in a buildfile where regular elements are possible too. <annotation> will be ignored totally with all attributes, text nodes and nested elements by Ants build processing.
Patch and test/example files are attached to the bug report.
Would be nice to see this in one of the next Ant releases.
