Hallo,

Beispiele über die Definition zu stellen, halte ich nicht für sinnvoll.

Ich würde sagen, die Beispiele sind Bestandteil der Definition.

Beispiele sind sogar das wichtigste an Spezifikationen! Bert Bos schreibt in http://www.w3.org/People/Bos/DesignGuide/designguide.html sehr schön:

»In fact, removing explanations can be a good thing for another reason as well: the more explanations, the higher the chance that they contradict each other. It is better to put explanations and annotations in a separate, non-normative document, or maybe in a book.

But do not remove examples. A well-chosen example can often replace several paragraphs of explanation. And moreover they can be used as a rough test case for new implementations.

Programmers typically like to find out how things work while programming, rather than while reading English. It is a paradox: giving less explanation makes them understand better. I guess programmers like puzzles...«
