I do not consider specs don't work, personnaly I refer myself to this relatively good documentation [1] instead of to dig in code to remember how work a feature early introduced. I guess we have some efforts to do about the level of details we want before a spec is approved. We should just consider the general idea/design, options introduced, API changed and keep in mind the contributors who will implement the feature can/have to update it during the developpement phase.
