Absolutely.

I've submitted my spec to virtio folks last nov, but this wasn't in form
of patch against their tex-based documentation yet (just ascii text),
thus laying around in the pipeline.

(meanwhile the actual implementation is running in the field for over
6 month now)

Viresh picked it up, but made something totally different out of it.
I wonder why he didn't consult me first. All that needed to be done was
translated the ascii documentation into tex and rephrase a bit in order
to match the formal terminology and structure used in virtio specs.

This makes me very unhappy.
