one thing I'd like to point out here is that protocol is that it has a
speficic way of describing and formatting things. I don't know if that would
translate quite as well to doxygen (at least when using doxygen commands).
this includes the LISTofFOOBAR descriptions, etc.
just one thing to watch out for
