Yes, that's the way I do but the "main" .mli is a pain, since you have to
maintain the same code in a.mli and b.mli in c.mli.

I'm currently writing another library, and I chose to use the -pack
facility. I end up with the same kind of interface (my library module C
contains modules A and B) but there is not more "main" .mli to write. The
drawback is that ocamldoc does not (yet) handle the -pack option, so
I have a generated doc which refers to A.t instead of C.a.t, for example,
i.e. modules are not prefixed by the library "main" module.

Alan, I propose that you work a little more "meta": please write a program
which parses RFCs and generate the corresponding OCaml code ;-)
