 From a computer science point of view, a written specification that 
completely describes a format must be translatable into the actual 
source or machine code by a compiler that understands the specification 
language. With that in mind, code (freely licensed, of course) that 
implements a format is more complete than any natural language 
specification until we have compilers that understand the latter.

And we need to fix natural language to be free of inconsistencies and 
misunderstandings :-)

Cheers,

Mirko.
