Systematic development of rules: GREAT but...

I think a systematic way of naming group IDs is a great idea but how these will be used with Shift-Y and what they will let us do with rules?
I'm new at rule writing and trying to write my first set right now for Albion I & III to start. I'm a theoretical physicist and I've been programming computers for over 30 years yet I have a hard time figuring out the partial and cryptic info about rules provided by Notion people.
A few questions about rules:
1) In the case of instrument-based rules are the instrument IDs assigned by the library manufacturer (e.g. Garritan) or Notion? For example who decided in GPO that cellos' ID would be 13060?
2) What is the appropriate use of the conditions such as "slurred-release" or "note-after-same"? Where can a table of definitions for these be found?
Suggestion: I understand that rules are provided "as-is" but why not hire a student for a few months to properly document these features and rules in general? Could even write a few packages for other libraries...
Custom rules are one of the best features of Notion and better use of them would increase the program attractiveness and reach. Just MHO of course.
