Mark-- None of my clients have yet required such a directory of me, but upon occasion I have found it useful to create one on my own: For example in a network administration application that I was redesigning the UI for from the ground up, that had a few hundred configuration settings that had to be carried over, and maybe a hundred new features that had to be added. I found that a FileMaker database helped me both in documenting how each feature worked, in clustering related features together for the new info design, in making sure nothing got forgotten, and in keeping documentation about design decisions (e.g. when a new feature made several previous ones obsolete).
