D.,

  The thing that is needed is

   1 - pkg/ document that is written for a human being and that is not
generated automatically.
   2 - inline API stuff for the key interfaces to the other pieces and key
internal interfaces. 

 It is best to add references and figures in 1.

 You can add references to (2) in (1). The protex stuff also includes a
level option (Ed added this) that behaves like a "verbosity" thing in
debugging, so you can indicate which routines you want generaed for a
generla document versus for a detailed document.
