i've been looking into the possibility of creating some xslt to expose
haskell apis to yahoo search via searchmonkey.  

if you see the java api search plugin, you can see some possibilities.

i was wondering if anyone maintaining any the official api docs had
considered looking at searchmonkey. from a site owner's perspective,
some rdf metadata can be inlined with the api docs which yahoo will
automatically crawl to build up a search corpus, which could then be
rendered into a display using the searchmonkey tools. this approach
would be superior to the xslt approach i suggest above, since it exposes
industry standard metadata that any search engine can use. the xslt
approach is an option yahoo offers to let third-parties "scrape" sites
they want put in ysearch. 

since two parties approaches might conflict, i thought i would send out
a note. thanks.
