Peer comments on this reference comment (and responses from the reference poster)
disagree  Daryo: this text is about how to create legal texts (wording of insurance policies), nothing to do with any kind of "backbone" of the IT variety. The fact that software is used for that is a Big Fat Red Herring - it's still about the "backbone" ***of the text***
