Yes, I imagine that a lot of people would find it useful. Spend an afternoon with linuxdoc-sgml, a recent source tree, find and grep, and you will probably make a lot of people happy.

Already exists. See the BootPrompt-HowTo, which has this covered. I have yet to add all the new v2.0.x options to it yet, but here is a partial list of what I will be updating when I get a few spare jiffies. If you see any I have missed, drop me a note.
Paul.
