I see that the pmdoc file contains an XML file which begins with

Any chance that spec is available?

I'd love to have a publicly available spec for this...
The official answer will probably be that you can file a bug report
on this requesting the format to be made available publicly.
I will save you some time: I filed a enhancement request for that
more than 3 years ago regarding the format of PackageMaker
documents. I think the answer at one point was something equivalent
to: which word don't you understand in 'proprietary format'?
So your best option is to document it yourself.
Why not document the formats of installer PACKAGES themselves?
1) Installer packages are much less buggy
2) They are a lot more likely to be supported in a few years...
Seriously, a bundle package contains a pretty small number of things
to document, and it's easily constructed using common unix tools.
Sheesh, mkbom even has a pretty good man page...
