Right;  I think Sidnei has already reverted that part.

The "no docstring" is because the "published" object is None.  The 
publisher refuses to render any published object which has no docstring, 
due to a very early piece of bobo DWIM:  it was an attempt to 
distinguish between methods which were part of the object's public API 
vs. its private implementation.
