Hi Rodrigo,
It sounds like you are doing exactly what I advised. I never said not
to reuse specs that have already been written. It's rare that one can
reuse an existing spec without modifying it; I'm delighted that you
were able to do that with my Voting spec. Perhaps that will become
more common when more algorithm designers write precise specifications
of their algorithms.
A spec is written for a purpose, and a good spec is one that serves
its purpose well. It appears that the purpose of your spec required
certain modules to be reused for describing a particular class of
algorithms. And you understood that, as I wrote, copy/paste/modify is
a fine way of reusing a module.
What I tried to say in my note is that, when writing a spec, one
shouldn't worry about whether the spec might be used again for some
unknown purpose.
