Comment:

 
[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bessel_function#Spherical_Bessel_functions:_jn.2C_yn
 Wikipedia] and [http://dlmf.nist.gov/10.51 DLMF] agree that the derivative
 formulas for the various spherical functions only apply if the index is an
 integer.  I'm not sure how this connects to
 [http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=derivative+of+spherical+bessel+j
 W|A]'s solution to that.

 Also
 {{{
 sage: integrate(spherical_bessel_J(1,x)^2,(x,0,oo))
 1/6*pi
 sage: integrate(spherical_bessel_Y(1,x)^2,(x,0,oo))
 -1/6*pi
 }}}
 is just too cool not to include.

 This is very nicely put together and other than these comments mostly
 needs just pseudo-random testing that mpmath or whoever doesn't have any
 weird error spots.  'Needs work' for updating updating documentation,
 otherwise 'needs info' for the other points raised.
