The general answer is, the usual, "it depends". The documentation for different
extensions is in different places, if it exists at all.

For the specific case of XFree86-Misc, the answer is that the documentation
is distributed amongst:
1) the XF86Misc man page (which documents the C interface, but in
so doing includes some bits that can be used to infer documentation
about the protocol)
2) xc/include/extensions/xf86vm{ode,str}.h
3) Some neurons in my brain that I haven't accessed in more than
half a decade
