Hi Ben,
I agree with Ilya that for some of the popular scripting languages the
task would be huge. But such an effort would not necessarily need to
cover all of the idiosyncrasies at the dark edges of each of these
languages. To be useful it need only map the common core, most often
used functions like those dealing with strings, text, arrays and the
more common math methods.
Anyway, I'm just thinking aloud really but to aid the process of
switching between languages, a consistent, standard and semantic markup
format and the resulting consistency in presentation would surely be a
good thing?

throughout each language?
I'm not sure precisely what information you're looking to extract from
programming language documentation.
Perhaps an example would help. What information you'd want to extract
from each of these pages?
