Speaking as someone who has read the spec several times in the last week or two while writing a from scratch implementation (albeit a very simplified hub) I found it to be fairly well written. And I'm usually pretty harsh on technical specs as being horrendously long, boring reads. I suppose this puts in me Bob Wyman's category of people who "just want to implement the thing."
But I've also been following along with PubSubHubbub for quite some time in the side lines. There have been numerous articles, slides and videos describing the sort of hows and whys that you may be looking for.
