ext2 sparse superblocks

I'm looking for documentation on Ext2's support for sparse superblocks.
Canvasing search engines gets me the same two references to tune2fs and
the dac960. I've also looked in /usr/doc and
/usr/src/linux/Documentation without success.

What it the method uses to reduce the number of superblocks? How are
they laid out before vs after sparse_super is enabled? Any caveats?

Thanks.
