Here's a GLEP for the addition of USE flag descriptions to package

had or suggested. It merely gives developers the necessary "tools" to
document their USE flag usage it better detail on a per package basis.
There should also be a way of referring to a use flag owned by either
this or another package. For example:
<flag name="foo">Enables support for fooing. Ignored unless <flagref
name="bar">plugin</flagref> support is enabled for this package and
<flagref restrict="app-misc/foo" name="bindings">bindings</flagref> is
enabled for <pkg>app-misc/foo</pkg>.</flag>
But that's rather ugly... There's probably a nicer way of marking it up
using XML.
What about just nesting them?
<flag name foo>
<flag name bar>Turns on hawt chicks</flag>
<flag name baz>Turns on welp</flag>
</flag>
Of course, you probably couldn't tell that just by looking at them, but
it's an idea.
