I didn't mean building docs in particular, but yes, kinda. You can build 
docs with Rake (and in different formats, depending on which ones you 
want), but there's no standard task name for that.

I guess so. When we get around to the "building" aspect of projects, 
we'll try to make it reasonably complete.

Without any build-related commands in Emacs, though, we'll still fall 
short of providing the complete editing experience you seem to want. And 
those would be exactly the kind of consumers I'm looking in order to 
grow the project API.
