as an addition to developing specs, that might be useful, if the spec remains 
the canonical standards output.

"Go read the code" is not a useful answer if the code comes under a license 
(such as GPL) that taints the developer. (This is a major reason what we are 
doing IETF specs for DCTCP and CUBIC - so that they can be implemented without 
needing to read Linux kernel code.)
