The rationale is that "summary sections" generally contain the 1st
sentence of a doc comment, which appears elsewhere, in full, in a
"details section".
Although we don't have any good examples in the JDK docs, the comments
for services (`@provides` and `@uses`) appear in full, and thus should
be in a "details" section. There is no summary of 1st-sentences for
services on a module page.
