He is saying the same thing I said when it was published: little substance. 
Nothing new that wasn't known before, very expensive way to put that on 
paper, but the extra mile that would have made it useful (namely detailed 
implementation specs suitable for a real life program) was not done - at all.

What we ended up with is a document that can be useful as introduction to 
software developers completely agnostic of the medical domain, but is fairly 
useless to those already in this business and familiar with our domain. 
Meaning it is fairly useless exactly to those (only) people currently 
actually writing medical software.

If you want to end up with a functional computer program, you have to create 
specs that lend themselves to implementation in software - and best done in a 
way that can create some of the boring software bits automatically from the 
specs (e.g. specs in UML). Not just the bird's eye view but the nitty gritty 
details.
