Can the Haddock library expose more (then just reading interface files)?

There has been some discussion about introducing a full-information
format that haddock can produce that tools can read. It's not
something anyone is working on at the moment, though. So while waiting
for something like that, we could try to work something out. Exporting
more of Haddock to the outside is a possibility. It would be
interesting to know which parts of the Interface structure that you're
after.
