Structured Vim docs?

I'm thinking about making a small app for searching vim docs that would
let you type in words and show a dynamic listing of all matching topics
as you type. So, for instance, if you type in "foo bar", it will show
all commands that have words foo and bar, in any order, in the
description. I think this would be very helpful in some cases,
especially for newbies. In addition I plan to eventually add more tags
to commands, so that for example searching for "change line" would point
to cc command.

I know that I can just parse the .txt doc files, but I was wondering, is
there a more structured source file for docs that has markup for
subsection name, tags, etc?

Thanks!
