Dan, 
In defense of Leonard's point (notwithstanding his prickliness,
today...) I think he's probably talking about the more general situation
where a customer/client/boss doesn't have anything to say on the topic,
one way or another, and just wants you to do a good, usable job of it -
meaning that it's left to the writer to decide how things are to be
presented.

Some people live and die by flow-charts; to them, every problem or
situation looks like a ... a....  darn, what can I say here to tie this
