Is this specification published somewhere?

Unfortunately at this point the example code snippets have a lot of formatting problems, images are missing, etc. These are issues I have already communicated to Graphisoft so hopefully there will be improvement in this regard soon.

The formatting of snippets exists inside the shader objects themselves is similarly sloppy, which suggests there was a batch processing tool at work. Or some really sloppy GDL writing. (David Nicholson-Cole - where are you?).
Here's the thing. I have bought some third party shaders which need to be migrated as AC can't read a C4Dlib directly.
If we had a specification, properly outlined and documented as per all the other GDL Commands in the Guide, then we might be able to begin to do some work on adding properly shaders to our libraries.
I'm trying to work with the folks at Greyscale Gorilla to see if there's a way to import or add their library of textures to mine. I found them in a list published on this forum, didn't read the fine print about the library migration, but want to try and find a decent workflow to let this happen more easily.
Greyscale Gorilla make proper tools for C4D and back this up with excellent training manuals. They're good folk and seem genuinely interested in our plight.
Do we need a text file of these C4D textures and then build them, one-by-one, in empty GDL files, or is there a tool available to do this for entire libraries?

I just know where that info is in the Help Center, but have not dabbled at this part of GDL to any degree.

There are issues still, but it is a good starting point.
Unfortunately there is no full list of all possible parameter, only a good number of examples (with very few explanation).

If these files were created via an XML transfer or some such, then the specification should exist somewhere as an import protocol.
I sat in on an excellent webinar for North American SSA holders this week. I asked the question there as well and will keep asking the question until something shows up.

There I found this link:
http://gdl.graphisoft.com/gdl-docs/cinerender-docs/
But there is no content in it yet. So I suppose it is coming at some point in the future.
Aaron, you may ask this same question on the forums of that new GDL site. They may be able to give you a better answer than mine.
