Looks good to me.  I would be happy to comment on the next level of  
detail.

One thing:  I would move the documentation about format to Text (since  
that is where it is perhaps most generally useful) and then just  
reference that from Debug.debug/info/warn/error/format (which all  
support format directives).  Or, have a chapter on format and  
reference it from Text and Debug.
