As someone who's working on a Stratum implementation right now, I must say this is a VERY narrow view of reality.
I've been using the following resources to gain my knowledge of the protocol:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=55842.0
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=108533.0
http://mining.bitcoin.cz/stratum-mining
https://www.btcguild.com/new_protocol.php
Notice how 50% of those links were forum posts
But, I'm guessing none of the discussion here counts as documentation either and can be entirely ignored

It's as close as it gets to the repository of the collated official documentation which was never written, only the draft proposal by slush which is quoted there.
