I suppose. Funcsynopsis has varargs for this though. I guess
methodsynopsis doesn't have anything similar. Maybe it's ok, it just
struck me as weird. What would it mean to say
<methodsynopsis>
<methodname>foo</>
<methodparam>
<parameter>param1</>
</methodparam>
<methodparam rep="repeat">
<parameter>param2</>
</methodparam>
<methodparam>
<parameter>param3</>
</methodparam>

Be seeing you,
