It displays both in the detail page. Because of how inconsistent the metadata 
can sometimes be, unlike the build system for the list pages it falls back to 
DESCRIPTION for a short description if SUMMARY isn't set, just so it has 
something to display.

It's worth noting that should people want to do a bulk fixup of their layer(s) 
the layer index does have a "Tools -> Bulk Change" function that you can 
access after logging in. This will run you through a search, followed by the 
ability to edit fields including SUMMARY and DESCRIPTION, and will then 
generate a patch that you can download, apply and send.

Cheers,
Paul
