I find embedded documentation (and excessive comments) problematic for that 
exact reason.
We're never going to make them consistent.

Stepping back a little; I think we agree that the API, being the main interface 
outside of VPP, should have good documentation.
I don't think doxygen tags in the .api files can ever be that.
If you agree with that, do you have better suggestions?
Given that we have multiple language bindings, interactive documentation like 
what Swagger has might be one option?

Best regards,
Ole
