Well, in this particular case, the code is the documentation. It's not something our regular user will care about. What's in those XML files are a few values from the font files (Type 1 and TrueType) necessary for the layout process and for registering the fonts with the output format. If I remember correctly, ascender, descender and x-height are most important for layout. Add to that the BF ranges (Unicode fonts), individual glyph widths (wx for TrueType) and the kerning pairs.
You can also get a lot of information from the TrueType specification and from increasing the log level on the truetype package. If that helps with your particular problem, I don't know.
