At least I found files with comments from/for ARM.

I don't understand the current compilation process yet. How is the 
target command line switch handled? Does pp spawn the target-specific 
compiler?

What format should it be? Wiki entries were easily extensible, but it's 
also easy to loose the overview over the missing pieces. FPDoc is nasty 
to format, though it would allow to inline the documentation with the 
online help. I'd prefer HTML, or OpenOffice if it allows for embedded links.
