ALthough Thompson seems to assert that the receiving node is supposed to put enough detail into the error log, so it's unclear that you've actually eliminated the need to describe the expected behavior. You've just shifted it from one place to another (and hopefully, made it in a easier to keep correct way). I note also that the "Program Development using Erlang" document gives a list of system level documents, as well as fairly conventional recommendations, e.g., "always document arguments and return values" and a whole raft of inline commenting recommendations. For instance, the gen_tcp module has a fairly complete "man page" that describes examples, summaries, as well as the datatypes. Is it the intention to follow these recommendations?
