I found it difficult to parse and understand the definition of specification. It says "...interface to accomplish a task." But interfaces are static, passive entities. They don't accomplish anything. Perhaps "for accomplishing a task" would read better, but even that feels uncomfortable. What task does XML accomplish? (It is used for many more things besides machine-independent data interchange.) I'm not sure that this phrase is necessary at all. Saying that "A specification is a set of technical requirements which define a reliable interface." seems adequate. If really necessary to qualify "interface", then "interface between actors" is what I'd suggest. On the same sentence, though less important, the phrase "which aim at ..." is one of those unnecessary phrases (like "in order to") that are best removed. Gary http://www.marsdome.com
