This all looks good to me. But, it took me a while to find the link.  
I think it should be in someplace more obvious. It is a "high level"  
document in the sense that it gives a broad overview, and hence it  
seems to me should be accessible "earlier" in one's intro to the web  
page. But, I don't fee strongly about this. If you have an intended  
audience and you think they'll find it, I'm OK.
