I did not say that it was. I suggested pod for that aspect.

POD doesn't require that the code be written in perl.
The biggest differences between what I'm suggesting and Knuth's cweb
(aside from all the mechanical differences) are:
(1) POD is a higher-level approach (and a simpler approach) than TeX.
(2) POD in c-comments tends towards a looser association between
code and documentation.
I think that both of these are good things in the context of linux
kernel documentation.
But the real issue is going to be (should be) writing good
documentation. Everything else is easy, in comparision.
