Cool. Here's a start:
http://dev.w3.org/cvsweb/validator/htdocs/docs/api.html
visible at:
http://qa-dev.w3.org/wmvs/HEAD/docs/api

What it needs:
- rewordings, clarifications, a fresh eye to assess whether the  
document is understandable or not. Karl, if you want to be 1) guinea  
pig and 2) reviewer, you're very welcome
- some CSS magic to make the tables usable. The default table style  
is fine for other parts of the validator site, but we should give  
these reference tables a class and make them prettier.
- drawings, maybe...  Thanks for the offer, but I am not sure...  
Maybe other parts of our documentations would benefit from that?
