I have to clean it up a lot, but I can post something.  

For now, my very basic document falls into this format:

- Abstract (Executive Summary)
- Details
  - More overview
  - Proposed technologies
  - Module Description
    - Desired Output
    - Input
    - Business Rules, behaviors, etc.
    - Test Cases (if applicable)
  - ...

I'm taking little steps right now.  I wanted something to use for TDD in the 
long run.  I'm going to keep the document evolving.

I'll post more detail over the weekend.  It is based upon a more formal 
software spec. document.
