Well, then you need to ask your customer what THEY want. FITSBITS is
a helpful forum, but you need to realize that we are all busy 
astronomers or/and software engineers, and that our time is valuable:
we are all willing to steer you towards helpful documentation,
but I'd be surprised if anyone on the list has the time to either
write the specifications that your customer apparently doesn't
provide or to fill in your science education to the point where
you can write them.
