I sometimes feel that there is an attitude that if a spec is needed badly enough, people will put up with any writing, no matter how difficult it is to read. While programmers are about the most forgiving audience you can write for, I personally believe that they have a limit and that, once that limit is reached, difficulty of writing will severely effect adoption of the spec. -- Ronald Bourret Programming, Writing, and Training XML, Databases, and Schemas http://www.rpbourret.com
