[SpecGL] Formal vs Prose Good practice wording

AI-20050131-7 (KD) to propose a "good practice" on the issue of 
formal/prose language normativity, 2005-02-07

http://www.w3.org/TR/2004/WD-qaframe-spec-20041122/#formal-language

Do we really need a new "good practice"? I thought it was more a 
technique. There's a technique which already answer that.

[[[	
	To avoid discrepancies between the English prose and the formal 
language, set up a process so that a given section is bound to a given 
part of the formal language, and one can't modified without the other.
]]]

We can add

	Be sure that both prose and formal languages are synchronized. You 
might try to implement the feature by following only the formal 
language, then try to implement a second time by following only the 
prose, and finally make a consistency checking.
