Well, for me, it's the opposite: I start boiling a bit, each time I see
a public header file without documentation, or a function declaration that
mentions only the types of the parameters and not their meaning.

Yes, and the functions are used more often than they are modified.

Anyway, in this case I was mostly protesting because of the references
to other pieces of documentation, which are hard to follow in a medium
that does not support hyperlinks.

Sergey solved it fine.
