If you can win them over [with brevity and wit] on _whether_ to do it, and your hints can show them _how_ to do it, is it really essential to frame a definitive statement of _what_ to do? That's the charter; but is it our best option? Do we need a "real spec," or is that a formula for a papyrus dinosaur? Iss a puzzlement. Better put: What do we need _more_ at the moment? Something more real as a spec, or stuff that is more real as accessible web content? Al Note: "Iss a puzzlement." The King says this memorably in "The King and I."
