Does anyone out there have a list of criteria they adhere to for beta-quality documentation?

Some tech pub folks say that beta doc is merely a snapshot of the documentation as it stands at the beta release timeframe. Others say that as long as you have a Beta watermark on the beta doc than you should be covered. I was curious if there's a more rigorous set of criteria that anyone uses to decide if their doc is beta quality or not. Thanks.
