HAL is very much like wiring real electronic components (data-flow, if you want a fancy word LabVIEW and simulink uses...). I think the best representation for our brains to understand and remember these things is not a text file with components and links but a schematic. I tried drawing the electrical side of things here: http://www.anderswallin.net/2008/09/servo-setup/
next time when I have copious amounts of free time it would be nice to work on something that reads and understands a HAL-file (or a running EMC via halshow?) and produces a picture of the connections. There was some work in this direction already; http://wiki.linuxcnc.org/cgi-bin/emcinfo.pl?Crapahalic and maybe something for drawing HAL-circuits with Eagle?
