Abosolutely. Like knowledge-api the javadocs for this will be published 
and available to the user, we can document the apis there in the manual. 
However unlike knowledge-api everythig in internal-api is considered 
subject to change, there is no guarantee we won't change them. So it's a 
great "staging" ground for experimental apis that we want users to play 
with for a while, but we don't want to lock down quite yet, atleast not 
until we decide it's ready to go to knowledge-api.
