Agreed (but my question is really about the choice of markup, see the end 
of my post).

That's nice. Just to make sure I understand (and keep a copy in my send
box :-) The documentation for each lfun should (at least?) contain:

* The name of the lfun  (or can this be automatically extracted?)
* The mode (situation) in which it can be used
* What (possibly optional) arguments it takes
* Brief description of what it does

Sure, but I was really wondering about what markup to use in the actual 
description. When you say emacs' "describe-function", are you referring to 
how a function is typically described, or the *markup* that's used...
