The landing page for XdgUtils is http://portland.freedesktop.org/wiki/XdgUtils
Some additional links from www.freedesktop.org would be a good idea, yes. I'm happy to hear that you volunteered for that task :-) Some notes about how XdgUtils can be used in Appendix C of the menu spec seems appropriate indeed. If someone can propose a patch for that, that would be most helpful.
