I also like "over-documenting" the "what" when implementing a spec/standard. Let's just copy/paste in the relevant paragraph from the document! In those cases, you don't need to know the "why" (though it helps); the committee/WG did that, and is telling you the "what".

Actually that is also a "why" as far as I'm concerned.
