I agree 200% on this.
It is perfect solution for this kind of problems.
Though one detail I already discussed a little on irc - what is
INFORMATION gained from disassembly? E.g. is some constant value an
information which can be used in the code, even if it isn't
documented or it's part of the code and thus needs to be "reinvented"?

You MAY NOT copy (and I'm talking about copy/pasting here) the

why would I
want to spend hours thinking up a new implementation when I've got a
perfectly good one right in front of me? So to avoid this pitfall
it is best
to describe the functionality in plain English and let another
developer
implement the functionality using only the English text. A lot of
work, but
this is exactly why we have copyright. Microsoft did spend even
more effort
on the original implementation.
