I see no problems with that at all. Damian does, however. In PBP he mentions
that according to his own observations, when documentation is right next to
the function it is actually less likely to be edited. However, I assume that
the documentation-opening-in-an-associated-window functionality would be
something you could turn on and off, and I really like the idea of having a
WYSIWYG pod editor.
