That's true, out of date docmentation is practically useless. I would hope that if it were a complete enough document that hopefully design changes could be recorded in there as well (by whomever commits or creates the patch?). At least that'd be my hope, not to say that would actually happen :). If a single person has to maintain the documentation then they effectively have to digest and realize what various changes mean, so it makes sense that the person who makes the changes also change the design document. At least this way it possibly reduces some duplicated effort.
Probably a silly question, but the JspC is the command line entry-point, and the JspServlet is the on-demand entry-point correct?
