The software analogy is flawed in that software has to be understood by 
a machine and is written in a language with very precisely defined 
semantics.  Legal documents are written to be interpreted by a human 
and, unfortunately, legal language is not a simple formal language 
(although I suspect that creating one would avoid a lot of problems with 
legislation).

RFC1855 says there should be an address here, but, in a world of spam,
that is no longer good advice, as archive address hiding may not work.
