Usually you don't want to repeat the business requirements in the UI Specs, it's often better just to refer to the individual requirements/ requirement sets/ use cases/ features, (whatever your bus documentation method is).
As well you probably don't want to mix up Functional Spec/Architecture in the UI Specs, (I've found being completely agnositic to implementation, usually is the way to go, especially for the bigger projects). Note State, Flow & Transition should be detailed out in some form via UI Specs, and this can reference both requirements & architecture, (note this does not mean repeating requirements or architecture). Does this make sense? PS I've never seen anything really useful from official "RUP" documentation, although some sequence/activity diagrams can do double duty for UI and logic.
