Steve,

When you are intended to use VB2005 soon, than I think it is better to wait.
This is spoiling time.

Just my thought,

I guess if the format turns out to be different to what the vb2003 plugins
use then it would be a big hassle converting all your comments over.. Then
again there will probably be conversion utils to do the job

XML comments in VB 2005 will be equal to those known from C#, but they will
be preceeded with three single quote characters instead of three slashes.
