We have libraries that use QuickBook+Doxygen (I'm a maintainer of at 
least two), so you're definitely not alone. At least, in Boost.Log I 
have multiple nested namespaces, and I don't remember having a problem 
of symbols not documented in the nested namespaces. That said, I haven't 
built the docs locally for some time, so maybe something got broken...
