What if a particular API is required for a particular program to work, but that API is undocumented by both Microsoft and the owner of the said program?
We don't need documentation from the author of the software that needs the API. We just need to document that the software needs the API.
Also, what about using code from 3rd parties which might contain undocumented API's, like Wine for instance?
Wine has a similar policy, but in general we should try to fix issues upstream. If we can't do that, then so be it. Forking source code isn't usually worth it.
