Actually, there is just one official document defining UTC (ITU-R Rec 460); plus of course the Bulletins C of the IERS. Everything else is interpretation and not necessarily correct. So I do not see a problem with scattered documents. What is missing quite a bit, as far as I can see, is a set of commonly accepted and applied "mises en pratique" for the leap seconds of UTC: documents that provide guidance for dealing with leap seconds in specific areas.
