I demand mandatory fun hours twice a week! And a coffee machine. And a

Being bitten by the Pony is not fun. Please keep your ponies away from

 Yes. It will describe what people think is allowed, rather than what
 really is.

 Don't think so; making the point that if attempting to write the spec 
 to target what 'people think'... that's rather subjective, and it's 
 easy for a subgroup of people to get ideas that don't match what 
 others think.
 
 Possible I'm being too literal, if so feel free to correct me.

 Yes. [Without an implementation] It [the spec] will describe what
