The Emacs Lisp Manual would > get a lot bigger if it had to include the specs of so many functions. The Elisp manual would not need to document things that are vanilla Common Lisp (i.e. respect the CL standard). It could simply cross-reference the relevant CL doc. The Elisp manual would need to document only extensions or departures from the standard. It does not need to reproduce all of the existing CL documentation.
