I tried to add documentation to a service called ApplicationClient by
providing ApplicationClient.doc.xml
It only works partially:
* The overall service documentation is ignored
* The documentation for the method is ignored
* Only the documentation for the returned data showed up.

I am using XFire 1.2.6

This is ApplicationClient.doc.xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<service>
  <documentation>The Client interface for the SOAP
interface.</documentation>
  <method name="ping" parametersNumber="0">
    <documentation>Ping this service.</documentation>
    <return>
      <documentation>current date and time</documentation>
    </return>
  </method>
</service>

As you can see "Ping this service." doesn't show up.
