I haven't quite got the official nod on that yet, but they have allowed
me to post the 'Fundamental User Information' document template that
we've used various versions of for a couple of years:
http://developer.gnome.org/projects/gup/templates/fui_template.html

I've tweaked it a little for GNOME-applicability (and the marketing
questions could probably go too, or be re-worded to reflect GNOME's high
level goals), but otherwise it's a handy way of documenting the
usability requirements/rationale for any particular project.  

Unfortunately I couldn't find any examples of its use that Sun would let
me post, but I'll try and write up an example one at some point :)

Cheeri,
Calum.
