*Borrowing Guido's time machine*  VOILA!  I have magically updated your
CMF installation to provide *exactly* what you ask for!  Check out the
"CMFCore help" in the ZMI Help System, which is backed by the
'CMFCore/interfaces' directory.

That directory contains interface specs whcih are "committed" (they
haven't changed much since CMF 1.0, actually).  CMFDefault/interfaces
has one, as does CMFTopic/interfaces.
