As responsible AD I do want to respond to this. Protocol specification exists to enable implementation. And that it is written for implementors are actually great as it will avoid many interoperability issues. Other usage of the specification I think will not be greately challenged by the detail level. This is not a novel, it is a protocol specification. So I don't consider this an issue, rather the opposite. From my perspective the QUIC documents are in the top percentile of documents when it comes to specification quality that I have seen during my soon 6 years as AD from across the whole IETF.
