For purposes of review and analysis, I am reproducing a portion of the

OK, so if someone writes a program that uses these commands, they must:
a. List the commands in their documentation
b. Provide the URL to the specification in their documentation.

I'd say this requirement interferes with requirement (b) from the
previous paragraph. Providing a link is a way of providing the document
to 3rd parties (or so it could be argued).
Maybe "provide to 3rd parties" could be changed to "publish"?
