Just a reminder/disclaimer, I was not the author of that bit, just forwarded it
to the list.
I do agree that the *intent* was probably not conspiratorial. Still,
I'm very afraid that the *outcome* will be much as Ari noted:
"the winner will throw away the specs it used to win the battle."
<MyCanonicalRantYouAreAllSickOf>
The way to avoid that scenario is to use the minimum "profiles" of the
specs that can be understood by humans, coded by hand, and explained to
non-geeks.
