1. There is a document about spice 0.4 (0.6 is released and we are approaching 0.8):

http://spice-space.org/docs/spice_protocol.pdf

2. in the repository the spice.proto file is a pretty succint description, and the enums.h and protocol.h from spice-protocol:

http://cgit.freedesktop.org/spice/spice/tree/spice.proto
 this includes all the messages

http://cgit.freedesktop.org/spice/spice-protocol/tree/spice/protocol.h
 this includes the initial handshake (link message) and the wrapper around the messages in spice.proto (SpiceDataHeader)
