I applaud this effort, however the "Does it work?" section answers the wrong question. Anyone can write a trivial doc compressor and show a graph saying "The compressed version is smaller!"

For this to "work" you need to have a metric that shows that AIs perform as well, or nearly as well, as with the uncompressed documentation on a wide range of tasks.

Was going to point this out too. One suggestion would be to try this on libraries having recent major semvar bumps. See if the compressed docs do better on the backwards incompatible changes.
