I'm not entirely sure what this means...

Several assemblies do have documentation and documentation "stubs" for some (but not all) assemblies.  They're in git, in mcs/class/*/Documentation/en, e.g.

	https://github.com/mono/mono/tree/master/mcs/class/corlib/Documentation/en

Documentation is stored in mdoc(5) format:

	http://www.go-mono.com/docs/index.aspx?link=man:mdoc(5)

I'm not sure if this counts as "machine readable" for you, but they're the only source of documentation that we have...
