this discussion makes me think at an other way to improve doc.

do you know of any utility that could detecte automatically _all_ the 
doc available for an application?

some sort of "locate_doc"

I mean I use mostly man pages or google. but I have no way to know if 
there is an info file, HOWTO's, /usr/share/doc... and I can miss some 
important thing.

browsing all by hand is quite tedious.

I would like to type "locate_doc ls" and have a list of all the relevant 
doc.

if LDP was leading this, we could propose some way of indexing non 
standard doc.

an utility can find man or info page, /usr/share/doc README or such 
pretty usual thing but not html courses, but there could be a 
registration form (as fresmeat) at ldp or any html tag, LDP recommended, 
to easy web index.
