There isn't really anything to "clean-up", not that a new organization
principle
could not be used, provided the benefits are tangible.

The man directory is used for man pages in legacy troff format. A couple
of exceptions
where the man pages are generated from DocBook/XML or ASCIIDOC

The /specs directory contains functional specifications which is a "type
of" document.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Functional_spec.

The /doc is for user's and developer's documentation. It would probably
be hard to distinguished
between the two. Sometimes both are in  the same logical document.

In the server, there is no central location for docs or specs, there are
close to the code.
