jdwp-protocol.html is the JDWP protocol so it's implemented by both the 
debugger and debugee. Typically the debugger sends a command and the 
debuggee responds with a reply. 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.
