You contradict yourself.
The purpose of di files *is* to provide the compiler the required 
info to use the binary object/library. If you want human readable 
docs we already have DDoc (and other 3rd party tools) for that.
If you don't like the default HTML output (I can't fathom why) 
you can easily define appropriate macros for other output types 
such as TeX (and PDF via external converter), text based, etc..
