It guess it would, but it seems to me that such a task would be far too ambitious. Speaking for myself, I could relatively quickly write a VM for caml, but writing the ocaml runtime design documents is something that would take me way too much time. Most of ML users don't have access to the original caml designers so we have no way to understand their design choices fully.
