I'm not aware of a formal specification document. If you find one then 
I'd love to get a copy too.  :)

If you can read C++ then the most complete source of information that 
I'm aware of is the source code of the MITAB library 
(http://mitab.maptools.org/).

There are also a few docs with bits of information at the following URLs:
