Hmm...
What kind of descriptions are necessary for a feature specifications?

Currently, I guess the specification describes when/where the security
hook should be invoked, what permission should be checked and what result
should be returned for each security hooks.

Is it correct? Or, do you expect any other stuffs?

Apart from that, user documentation is also necessary.
If the specification should be described from completely different viewpoint,
I'll provide it.

Thanks,
