So, having 2 objections to clones, let me give my thoughts: - What I'm working on is a microservices design spec that has multiple API's with apps that interact with those API's - Let's say the API has a function 'PUT /updatePosition' that takes these arguments - ID - Latitude - Longitude - In the smartphone app spec, I want to add the documentation which says: - When you've changed X miles in position, do a PUT to /updatePosition with the arguments: - clone ID - clone Latitude - clone Longitude So, from a documentation point of view, I'm maintaining the definition for those parameters once, and referencing them consistently across specs
