[kepler-dev] Documentation updates

[Nandita Mangal]

Hi Kevin,

As with the recent changes in the documentation infrastructure in 
Ptolemy ( editing & storing the custum documentation  in a MOML file) , 
I was wondering if one can also implement the "GetDocumentation" feature 
in Kepler & store new results in the actor's moml file ? Could you also 
suggest  possible implementation changes/issues with the above structure 
in Kepler.

Thanks!
Nandita.
