The federation protocol draft spec has been in the repository at
code.google.com for a long time, and the whitepapers have also moved
there recently, e.g.

http://code.google.com/p/wave-protocol/source/browse/#hg/whitepapers/operational-transform

The barrier for contributing to this is higher than it would be with a
wiki; but for specifications and similar documents, this is probably a
good thing.  Please send your contributions through the usual code
review channels.  We would like to see the errors that you found
fixed.

Oh, and "retain" is not an operation, it's an operation component :)
Specifying an absolute position/range for each component would indeed
be an alternative.  The way we defined our operation components forces
each operation to traverse the document exactly once, from left to
right, which leads to more efficient algorithms for transform and
compose.

Hope this helps,
Christian.
