I think the specification has been mostly done on the tunes web pages,
it needs to be codified so everyone can see them, and so we can judge any 
designs to see if they fulfill those requirements however, allowing to
fix the designs.

My guess is we need a spec for the arrow language, and
then a second spec that says how the arrow language and other parts
will fit into tunes.

And we definitenly need to do it in a semiformalized process so tunes can
make headway.

I'm committed to making the process appear.  Anything else is a case
of time will tell.

For now any spec you think you can write for tunes I'd love to see it
appear.
