I haven't look into this deeply, but is the Extended

As others have said, there are no official design docs.
The source code is it (and the archives from this mailing 
list).

My advice is to understand it in parts.  The code is very 
modular in some respects.  TDB, TALLOC, etc...  Things that
are used through though the code I mean...
