​Although contribution always welcome, personally I prefer making the
document as consistent as possible.
I don't know if it's a good idea interleaving different backend
implementation
​s​
in
​one​
 document.

​Anyway, I think you can write a RFC (request for comment)​
​
​ mail, describing what/where you feel unsatisfied
about current document, giving a draft to show us how you would improve the
document. I think that will make
the discussion more concrete.

HTH,
