I would like to create some technical specifications in a format of
(a) Cover Page, (b) Title Page, (c) Revision History, (d) TOC,
(e) List of Tables, (f) List of Figures, and (g) Actual specifications/text/etc.
A-C might be part of each org-mode document, or might only be included on export.
However there are fields in these sections that are document specific that must
be updated on export, for example; title, doc number, revision number.
In addition, the Cover Page has to be of the approved format having space
for the appropriate signoff signatures for the author and several approvers.
Is org-mode capable of this, or is this something that has to be done outside
of org-mode?
For the revision history, I think creating this table on export by
including the commit text from git would be great. Does anyone have any
pointers on how to accomplish this?

Luke,
I guess it all depends on what export target you are aiming for. If you
want latex (+pdf), much of this can be captured with actual latex
commands (\listoffigures, say).
Independent of the export target, the revision history could be
generated using babel with the appropriate log command depending on the
version control system you use, as in
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
#+begin_src sh :results output :exports results
git log -10 --oneline
#+end_src
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
HTH,
eric
