Design docs

The design docs, deep dive into a feature that may or may not have been implemented.
During development, they provide communication of ideas that can be reviewed within the team.
Once implemented the provide a permanent reference into the design considerations. The details may vary from the end implementation (check the actual code for reference), but the concepts should be enough to understand SiteMesh in more depth.
