<snip>Simon, I don't know how legislation works where you live, but where I
live, it would
not only become a constraint, it would become a mind boggling boondoggle. I
can just
imagine the lobbiests. </snip>
Tom,
<tongue in cheak>
But can't you see the new opportunities that would create for technical
writers? Imagine - 10,000 pages of requirements for a 100 page manual -
and only we technical writers understand them all! We could be a new arm of
law enforcement. Imagine that - The Federal Bureau of Document Accuracy. I
can feel the power already.
