Documentation for styles and variables thereof

http://www.livejournal.com/developer/styles.bml and http://www.livejournal.com/developer/views.bml (along with the information linked from them) are.. well.. not the most clearly documented parts of livejournal. While the basic information that most users will need is very clear and well laid out (and due to be even better judging by the proposals listed on this group), the more in-depth parts are kinda lacking.

For example: it would be useful to have readily-accessible information on the syntax and more clarity on how to use different features. I'm used to worse documentation than this and I managed to hack my way through after a few questions asked, but it probably shouldn't be that way. Examples of syntax, direct examples of writing code X will have effect Y, that sort of thing. If I understood a little more of how it worked (a matter of time and some explanation) I'd be happy to help out with this. Thoughts? Ideas? Something to put on the back burner?
