Sharepoint internals happiness

Recently when I was trying to isolate out how the SharePoint internal authentication system (ACL / ACE) worked, I ran into the following documents describing the internals of SharePoint content databases quite detailed.
The documentation is major since august already, but I thought just to give it some more attention in case you might have missed it.
You can find it here: [MS-WSSFO]: Windows SharePoint Services (WSS): File Operations Database Communications Protocol Specification
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc448602.aspx
It also lists the tables and views used in the SharePoint content databases. Excellent information if you want to know more on the internals of SharePoint.
