Errr... that's 30,000 pages. How fast can you make everything
interoperate perfectly now?
Release to the public for viewing? Or using? If it's not released under
an open source license someone who looked at it may write compatible
code and then be at risk of suit for copying code, methods, whatever.
That's why some shops use double blind development, people who see the
specs (I use that loosely) write a requirements document which the
development team then codes.
