I have to reiterate that the idea is to continue to be able to view YANG
modules *without* using tools, but provide some aid to tools that can make
use of certain well-defined lightweight markup conventions.

Everybody with a practical experience of converting YANG automatically
to something else (not only to HTML, it starts already with YIN) knows
that transferring descriptions and other similar texts is tricky.
