Ok ... hmmm ... how to say this...

The documentation in Documentation/kernel-doc-nano-HOWTO.txt of
kernel-doc is mostly focused on the details of the apparatus that
converts the "/**" comments into various documenation formats, and has
only somewhat buried and non-inviting documentation for kernel hackers
wanting the "Kernel-Doc for Dummies" summary of how and when and where
to create such "/**" comments.

For example, the distinction you note between:
!E<filename> external (EXPORT_SYMBOL), and
!I<filename> internal (not exported)
is buried in the "How to make new SGML template files" section, which I
would hope that I never had to read.

However ... in accordance with the usual rule that he who complains
gets to fix it, I find this kernel-doc documentation to be PERFECT! ;).
