Re: [plcs-dex] Interface specification

[Per-Åke Ling <per-ake.ling@eurostep.com>]

At one time one could argue that a 2D drawing was a document just like 
minmutes of meeting etc, it was after all a piece of paper.

Today an interface is described by a document, but in the future there 
may be formalized ways to describe interfaces...

But, I guess it isn't really harmful to subclass from document. After 
all, PLCS is full of other compromises.
