Should be, but we got plugins, that now  does not let us say that, as 
example :
gb_winftp_serv_bof_vuln.nasl :

summary is : Check for the version of WinFTP Server

when in overview part of field description we got :
Overview: This host is running WinFTP Server and is prone to Buffer 
Overflow vulnerability.
So here : overview is not summary+yes :-(


> I'd rather prefer then texts like we use in _detect scripts already.
+1


> Well, I am not settled here, but feel not happy with "overview".
me too,
not easy to find a suitable way to easily match , use and parse 
nowadays plugins with the multiple description form we got.
