Might be worth checking it out - there is certainly some stuff about lesstiff there and if thats what you have built against, it might save you some time trying to do stuff which just won't work because of lesstiff limitations. While I have been able to find all the X resources for emacs 21 I wanted, I do have to admit it was not striaght-forward finding it. A great majority of it was in the emacs manual/info pages, but the less common X resources were only found after doing greps of the NEWS/PROBLEMS/FAQ files - I guess this is just the never ending problem of trying to keep the sources and documentation in sync, which is probably especially hard with a major new release like emacs 21.
