I think the question that needs to be asked is how much value does
Maximum RPM add, and is it appropriate or necessary to include that in

But, that is additional fodder for the discussion.
While doing this, might want to keep in mind that RPM and the tools
around RPM has changed quite a bit rendering a number of instructions
complete obsolete and even misleading in the old docs. The setting of
buildroot by RPM itself, groups is now optional and so on.
A document which is more up2date but also much shorter is at
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/How_to_create_an_RPM_package
While merging in content together into a single guide, make sure it
reflects the current latest information.
