Given the size of most of these specs and there insane complexity, it would very much seem to me that this is not something that any one person could implement. But it should be the case. Efficient implementations should be relagated to groups. Another approach. Write a spec, then give it to somebody who hasn't worked on the spec, but if familiar with the problem. Let them play with it for a few days then ask them to explain the structures back to you. If they can't get more than say 80%, it's time to cull back, simplify and abstract (1 layer, not 4). I find this particular approach to be very accurate and satisfying the myself and the people using the technologies I write.
