I never said it should come from THAT competitor. Even if it did tho, as a
public document available to everyone, one of two things would happen: one,
several other competitors would challenge the specs by submitting ones with
more verifiable proof, so a concensis would quickly arise as to which was
correct, and/or there would be no advantage gained by submitting a spec on
an "illegal" mod since everyone competing against him could use that same
public spec to make the same mod.
