There are also event messages that the target VM/debuggee sends to the debugger. If there is place for Java SE documentation then it might be best to put it there rather than trying to put it in jdk.jdi or jdk.jdwp.agent.

Magnus’s proposed patch to put jdwp-protocol.html in the spec/jdwp directory is fine.
