The plan for your documents should include the reasons for their 
existence and an understanding of the audience or the potential readership.

Restating that a bit more cynically, sometimes all that's needed is that 
the documents exist, and nobody will ever read them, let alone nit-pick 
them. Other times someone's going to examine the least detail, looking 
for some way to convict the innocent.
