Hi.


I'd like to see it, but I think a more complete document would be
better. This completness would include all of what you said plus how
and where to store that documentation, suggestions of notations, how
to maintain such documentation when configuration changes, how to
maintain that documentation when a program (e.g. MTA) is replaced by
another, etc.
