From the 1.2 Users Guide:

4.10 Reference Bus Definitions

The SPIRIT Consortium has prepared a set of BusDefs for several common busses. It is expected, over time, that those standards groups and manufacturers who define busses will include spirit XML BusDefs in their set of deliverables. Until that time, and to cover some existing useful busses, a set of BusDefs for common busses has been created.

Having a set of reference BusDefs means that many vendors defining IP using these busses can interconnect. The SPIRIT consortium posts these for use by their members, with no warrantee of suitability, but in the hope that these will be useful. The SPIRIT Consortium will from time to time, update these files and if a Standards body wishes to take over the work of definition, will transfer that work to that body.
