All vaild points which just strengthen the arguments for why such a document is needed and FWIW sounds very familiar to programmers writing conventional code who 'chafe' at having to document what they do :-) Computer programs are a mix of algorithm and data and just because you take the data out of the 'C' code and stash it externally does nothing to alleviate the need to document it !!
