No they don't.  Specs are much better than even a source driver, because
when you have specs you can fix bugs in a driver someone else has written.
When you don't have specs you can only guess at what is right or wrong
or do some trial-and-error checking.  So specs are better.

But best is for a company to release specs /and/ an open source driver,
or sponsor open source driver development.
