I don't want to bike-shed this discussion but I have seen this come up a 
few times and decided to ask:

Why /libs/some_library/index.html ?

/libs/some_library/doc/index.html  makes great sense.

By convention an index.html at the library's lib dir could mean the 
documentation index but since we have a doc dir shouldn't the canonical 
place be there?
