Thanks for the pointer.

We may be victim of the pendulum syndrome. The "too many formats"
replaced
with "one size fits all". 

It would be better for the project if there were some consistency in the
chosen format.
It should not be "random" or based on what the developer happens to be
more
familiar with.

Some heuristics based on content type, size, etc... 

Perhaps doxygen should also be considered in some cases. 
I have not given any thoughts yet, but protocols are heavy on public api
so they seem to be good candidates. Having the code and the docs in the
source
could go a long way in terms keeping them in sync.
