What I meant was that we should maintain a single mock project like yours that can be used by several different IDEs. Maybe a common API format that can be used to generate -vsdoc files, JSDoc, ScriptDoc and other helper formats.
Microsoft will probably continue to maintain the jQuery -vsdoc file with new versions, yea. But other frameworks will probably have to maintain their own. As far as I know you can't get new lines in the tooltips.
