How about a 'decisions.txt' file included in the distribution?  This 
would include short comments on things like this, to make clear 
something has been considered.  Potentially, also a short solution 
s.a. yours could be included.
The website is too heavy & 'far away' for this, such a document should 
accompany the sources themselves imho. Note that it would be 'deep 
reading', not necessary for any newcomer but might be interesting 
nonetheless.
I think an appendix to the reference manual might be a good place for 
it.  I usually use the online version of the reference manual, and 
don't consider the web too "far away".
On a tangent, some languages have a "IEEE annex" which explains how 
IEEE arithmetic is mapped into the language.  It might be useful for 
Lua to have one.  Is there any interest in me writing one?
