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.
