I agree with Aaron. I don't think this is a realistic concern. Think  
of applying "with many eyes all bugs are shallow" to spec creation. I  
also immagine if two people in say kde for example disagree about a  
spec they will discuss it between themselves before taking a public  
stance on it. Even politicians understand this and they are the scum  
of the earth ;)
