As far as the HTML quirks are concerned, they will all hopefully be
specced. The three modes are defined in the spec already and many of
the quirks have already been documented, or are at least mentioned as an
issue in the spec.
See this section:
http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/#no-quirks-mode
Some of the rendering quirks may be addressed in the rendering section
of this spec, though it would be nice if the CSS WG would document a lot
of the relevant issues themselves. However, I don't believe they have
any plans to do so at this stage.
