Ok, please have a look at:
http://www.boost-consulting.com/boost/libs/thread/doc/thread.xml
What if someone removes the <legalnotice> section in this file (or
rewords it to whatever he pleases)? My guess is that inspect will not
report a failure then because there's still the XML comment. I've not
actually found an example for such a problem but then again I haven't
looked that hard.
This problem, together with the broken license propagation of the doc
tools, seems to suggest that inspect would best also check the generated
HTML.

No, I got that, at least after your second answer. The doc tools need
some fixing too.
