I don't think now is a very good time to write out a specification, because the specifics are in flux as we move on to Ruby 2. Maybe once the language is a little more stable again it would be a good idea. In any case, I don't think we could ever have a purely spec-driven system. If the specs were out of sync with Matz's Ruby, I imagine it would be the specs that change, not Ruby. So it would mainly be a descriptive thing. That's what I think.
