Those are "reinvent the world" level of changes. We're talking about an industry where nothing is standardized, and you want to rely on highly formalized documentation!?
I'm not exaggerating when I say that "which way is up" is an unsolved problem right now. Getting the industry to adopt a standardized manufacturing file format and standardized files describing things like footprints and pinouts would be a massive breakthrough. Let's start with that.

It is much easier and more feasible at this point to do automated visual analysis against the footprint and discovered photos from the internet
