Pat,

yes, but this is precisely the kind of thing I *do* want. Without
it nobody will be sure that things match up with the requirements.
It'll all be in our heads, and we won't be sure of agreement until
things flare up, as they do now and again, and again. If it's all
there where we can all see it and agree/disagree, we're all on
safer territory as regards our cooperative work and agreement.
