It would be useful to document them in the Info documentation, indeed.
Probably no one found the time to do it yet, is all.

I'm not sure we need to document these however, since they are generic
(from `special-mode') and available all over.  Presumably they would
already be familiar to almost all ELisp developers (who would the target
group of the ERT Info manual).
