Certainly this could be done.  It has not been done in the past, because
I've never seen a fret diagram anywhere that had fingering information above
the strings.

Do you imagine that the fingering information would be right in with the
open and muted string information, so that a D chord would have

XX0123

above the diagram?  Or do you imagine two separate strings, so you'd see
something like

   123
XX0

for a D chord?

Thanks,
