I was somewhat lost about the actual content of this sort of document.

In past reviews of older version of the docs, I go the impression that 
this should focus more on the use of the API and how to use it.

And it seem that different people expect to find here different type of 
information.

What is the best place where to put a more extensive description of the 
feature?
