PREFERRED_PROVIDER is perhaps a special case since it will usually have a suffix and we're not going to add a [doc] tag for every single one. Special casing that one in the code may make sense. Are there any other suffixed variables that are causing similar problems? I suspect Paul's proposal of knocking off the lowercase suffixes and seeing if a [doc] tag exists might be the best/only way to attempt to handle this.
