I'm afraid I have to agree with you. I did a fair bit of research
for my EOS flash photography article, and there isn't much hard data
out there. There's a modest amount of stuff on TTL and A-TTL, but
very little indeed covering E-TTL.
As you point out, E-TTL metering patterns aren't really explained.
Neither is the fill flash reduction algorithm. There are other big
holes, but those are two fairly important ones that make a real
difference to how photographers use their cameras. Here's hoping
Canon release some more data in the future.
