I didn't get any further, no :(. The decision of whether to merge the  
nowdocs patch is out of my hands now, since I don't have source  
karma. However, since the main thing standing in the way of its  
implementation was concern over the usefulness, your comment is very  
helpful, and I'd like to open the topic for discussion again on the  
list, if no one out there has any objection :)
