I'll try to add some text that describes ("non-normative") the approach. 
Actually, that would be good anyway because the "how" of a definition 
does not have to be the "how" of an implementation.

The weakness in describing by algorithm (which is good in other ways) is 
the implication of being the only way when what matters is whether the 
same resutls are obtained.
