Yes, thats true.

Your welcome to write this specification(s). If the document becomes to
big at any state it is also possible to separate it later and include
links to the related specifications I think. Start as you like.
For specifications there is a new template under development available
at
http://specs.openoffice.org/collaterals/template/OpenOffice-org-Specification-Template.ott.
You can try it and give feedback or ask questions at the
[EMAIL PROTECTED] mailinglist.
Maybe you have less problems using the older template at
http://specs.openoffice.org/collaterals/Specification_template.stw

I will let you know when I have prepared a download.

Yes, this one needs deep research...
Thanks,
