Tech Spec vs Functional Spec was RE: What are you working on?

[Richard Lewis <tech44writer -at- yahoo -dot- com>]

Hi:
   
  Can anyone enlighten me as to what a "Technical Specification" is.  I know what a Functional Specification is - and the definition of such is fairly standard across the industry.  But what is a Technical Specification?
   
  From what I have seen, quite frankly, it is a Functional Specification that is so unfunctional that no one dares call it such.  So, to call it something, they give it the catch-all name of Techincal Specification.  But, of course, there may be other considerations that I am not aware of.
