I think that the documentation you mention is pretty good as it stands - I just hadn't found it. That's my fault and my inefficiency. I hardly ever use text spanners, and hadn't remembered there was even a section like that.
I think I need to find some time simply to read through (for the umpteenth time) the whole of the Notation Reference. No doubt I shall be able to absorb many more details than I could the last time I did it.
