The best way to do this is to insert the XML directly into the source 
for your module. If you bound your XML inside a

/*** DOCUMENTATION
***/

section, then Asterisk will, during compilation/installation, add the 
XML to core-en_US.xml so that it will be present when Asterisk starts up.

There currently is no way to adjust XML documentation at runtime and 
have it reflected in "core show application" though. A restart is necessary.
