No. Those APIs are subject to change. At some point I'm going to add 
caching, and I want to change RDoc's html generation to base it on the 
ri database (thus allowing incremental generation of HTML 
documentation). I may well need to change things to make this all work.

btw: I'd happily look for collaborators on this project, if folks are 
interested in making a commitment.
