Aunt Tilley probably doesn't want documentation but help files. I consider a man page or info doc that documents all possible --options as good documentation already (although I can recall one recent instance where I had trouble finding the right man page: the documentation I was looking for was in man Z rather than man X!). But there are users who would think anything short of tooltips or balloon help is poor documentation. Should they be the consumers of a documentation project?
