Dear Terry
I've been reading through your contribution to this thread with interest but I'm struggling to see beyond an understanding of your argument that merely substitutes 'design' for 'specification'.
Is this what you are proposing? If so. I'm wondering what the gain is. 'Specification' seems much better suited to representing the idea of 'specification'. If not, what is the gain?

Dear Ken,

The idea of 'design' as a 'specification for making or doing something' is widely accepted across all areas of design and in the public domain outside design.
