Ray - Since I don't see where anyone replied, I think the problem is your stress on "well documented". Might have scared people off. The basic procedure is to use separate ORACLE_HOME for each version. Make sure each version doesn't share anything you don't want them to. Most Unix systems require certain kernel parameters to be increased. I am not seen where anyone has clearly documented all aspects of this situation. Make sure you try this first on a test server. Once you've done it a time or two, your confidence will increase. Then you can write that clear documentation and post it on a web site for everyone's benefit. ;-)
