New facet: bloated spec

Having had a chance to look at all the specs on the matrix, there are
a few that simply cause my eyes to glaze over and give me headaches
even thinking about how they can be compared.  Those specs share the
"bloated spec" facet:

    Due to a broad scope, overengineering, overspecification, or over
    eager writing, this spec is huge.  Developers are encouraged to
    break up the spec into more managable pieces.
