Heard of CSS ? ;-)
If we stick to some tags perhaps similar to the headerdoc tags, we 
don't have to go spread all these <h1> etc throughout the code. I'll 
give a look at it and come up with a proposal. Editing the docs in the 
project is brilliant, indeed wiki like....
What I was pointing add, was a more tutorial based outline of the 
architecture. Just a simple two page overview or something, but perhaps 
that too screams for an example..

Yep, you're fully right. The prime concern is documented code, properly 
headerdoc-ed...
