No, it's a great idea, and one that is currently being implemented.
It has been tried before but the problem is that the source for the
crossfire docs is a rather spaghetti-like collection of LaTeX files.
The converter that turns LaTeX files into the right format for the
World-Wide-Web (WWW) couldn't handle it, so up until now only 
postscript versions have been available, both at Cardiff and now
also by Frank Johansen himself:

  Cardiff:  http://www.cm.cf.ac.uk:/Fun/
  Frank:    http://www.ifi.uio.no:/~frankj/crossfire/

The maintainers of the docs source code have said that new versions
will be available anytime now, in a much neater format that hopefully
the latex2html converter will be able to cope with. I hope so! As
soon as anything happens I'll make sure the list knows about it...
