Happy to read this :)
I'm waiting for instructions on how to proceed in filing dox that belong
to the "specification".
Do you have a plan for it ?

In my vision there are two kind of specs:
        - Gnash specs (what gnash can do and how it does it)
        - Flash specs (what we would want by a Flash player)

I think Gnash specs and Flash specs might be the same document, with
Gnash specs being a subset of it (ie: every entry in the Flash specs would
contain Gnash-specific behaviours explained), anyway this would likely make
it harder for third parties to help out with it (Benjamin from swfdec, for
example).

Ideas ?

In general, the specs would be divided in :
        - ActionScript syntax (Gnash doesn't have to do with this really)
        - Player API
        - SWF tags

Comments ?
