True.  This is due to the fact that Jan is using the l3doc.cls for
writing his .dtx file and not ltxdoc, so his .dtx file looks like this:

%<*driver>
\documentclass{l3doc}

\begin{document}
\DocInput{tuc-memo.dtx}
\end{document}
%</driver>

AUCTeX doesn't have a style file for l3doc.cls (yet).  Hence doc.el is
not loaded and the rest is standard procedure of not available
completions etc.

So the shortcoming is missing l3doc.el.

Actually it shouldn't be needed to activate them automatically, loading
\documentclass{ltxdoc} in a .dtx should be sufficient.

I agree.

See above.  I think the course of action is to update doc.el (I have
some sort of update on my HD) and write a l3doc.el which loads the rest.

Best, Arash
