code is usually less ambiguous than specs.  it's not clear to me
that there's much point in making a spec for something that's
likely to have only one implementation that will always have
public source code.  well, isolating it as a spec should make
some things easier, like the versioning issue.

I wish the world had settled on something other than XML.  it's a
lot harder to use than, say, LISP syntax, and libxml2 is about as
much code as a Common LISP implementation.  oh well.
