I fully agree with Simon's reasoning about the importance of the permission to modify the specification (and, more generally, about the importance for the specification document to be Free Software). I would personally suggest the [zlib] license for such a document. It explicitly requires that altered versions be plainly marked as such, and not be misrepresented as being the original.
