Wow, I looking at all the sections you'll be putting in there--really thorough!
So...I really know nothing about lighting, but had a question on the specular. I think I misunderstood how it's written. I'm not sure the "picture a mirror dead center on the light source, there's the specular" works, because incident angle = reflected angle.
For example, say you have a small light, pointed straight down at the ground. You are looking straight ahead. If you hold a mirror in the beam facing up to the light, you'd have to rotate it 45 degrees toward you to see the light.
