I don't touch a project without a spec being in place.  I usually use
Mediawiki - or something similar - to keep it organized, easily
updatable, etc, but the spec is focused around building out readable
User Stories.  If a developer and your customer can both read it and
make sense of it, that's the key...  beyond that, I don't worry about
too much.  If needed though, you can pull test plans (UAT, CAT, etc)
directly out of those stories.
