Been there, done that, wrote the XML import support for mdoc-update:

http://www.go-mono.com/docs/index.aspx?tlink=10@man%3amdoc-update(1)

-i, --import=FILE

Import documentation found within FILE.

FILE may contain either csc /doc XML or ECMA-335 XML.

The problem is, ECMA-335 doesn't contain documentation for very many
types -- only 331 types and 3797 members.  This sounds like a lot, until
you realize that mscorlib.dll has 1283 public types containing 2464
members, and System.Xml (also partially documented in ECMA-335) has 258
types with 4952 members, so the documentation included in ECMA-335 is
really just a drop in the proverbial bucket.
