But it is likely just kind of distributed, organic knowledge that is hard to condense into a single document. Writing and maintaining such a thing would be a significant project, and (I am speculating here) not the kind of thing that significantly burnishes anyone's performance review.
That said, the whole community of assembly-hackers has even broader knowledge of the topic, and could start such a document out in the open. And Intel engineers might likely contribute their own two cents. (Unless lawyers forbid it).
