Not at first, but by the time your software is working, you will have comprehensive documentation about it.

Where did the idea of 'upfront' come from? Having comprehensive documentation before you have working software doesn't mean having comprehensive documentation before you have any software.
It's not comprehensive documentation, it's a process of software development. Start with the most simple test first, make it green via the most simple implementation, refactor. (Red/Green/Refactor). Repeat until you can not adjust your tests/specs and implementation anymore.
Doing TDD you'll not create comprehensive documentation upfront but will switch your testing- and implementation-hat every few minutes.
