Sorry, but as even the inventors of new style-services say, they aren't the final solution to every problem, and they cannot be applied to each and everything. So, what you suggest is not a viable option, as there are enough old-style services around which cannot be reasonably converted to new-style ones. We need a working solution for this. Currently, it are hassles like those which alienate even the good-will developers which actually *do* try to write good API documentation (it are way too few). If we're serious about our API, we shouldn't impose such artificial restrictions on ourselves.
