I think if installing introspection data is not required but recommended, only 
(c) might be problematic.
IMHO the main issue is to have an agreed on standard location and format where 
and how to store the documentation.

For example command line applications are not required to install man pages, 
yet there is a known location where to look for them and some distributors 
even generate one if it is missing upstream.

Cheers,
Kevin
