Somebody once said: "the optimal number of optional features in a spec is zero", and "you're done with a spec when there's nothing left to remove" (maybe it way Yaron G.). Of course that doesn't always work well, but there's a lot of truth in it. But: if we're really concerned with the size of the spec than there are far bigger parts that could be removed. BR, Julian
