I think it would be nice to put into some sort of `standard' format,
such as \documentclass{ltxguide}.  This would make it possible to use
the same markup for syntax describtions as in latex/base/fntguide.tex.
In addition, the NEWfeature and NEWdescription tags would be nice.

Hmm, I don't think it is a good idea to put all the stuff under tools,
I'd rather like to reuse

  fonts/utilities/fontinst/doc
	                  /inputs
	                  /source
                          /examples

and copy only the relevant files generated by docstrip to tools/finst.

Agreed.  I'll look over it, and see what needs to be changed or added.

Cheers, Ulrik.
