I think using well-know/well-defined development methods and process models is the key. Especially when you not just document it with plain text but use something more formal like UML. Do proper analysis and design, etc. and document it while you are developing. Formal specification might be a bit too much, but formal description of models etc. and constraints is a _lot_ better than just plain text. The typical hackers these people are afraid of dont do stuff like that. The real benefit is that it is a lot easier to understand if properly used and projects get bigger. torvald
