You're welcome. I think it's a great shame (and probably no accident) that really important stuff like legislation that can affect the lives of millions of people is still presented in a form that makes interpretation extremely difficult for non-specialists.

A variation on the legal-DSL inquiry upthread: what do you think about open-source code that ships with open-source legal terms-of-service which are enforced by the code? Even something as simple as attribution for CC-BY-4.0 does not have a "reference implementation" or lint-checker.

Some attempts have been made at Finance DSLs, http://stackoverflow.com/questions/23448/dsl-in-finance

I'm very interested in this subject, but not especially expert at it, plus I haven't kept up with the technology on a daily basis for over a year, so I have no clue what the cutting-edge trends are right now. There is a HNer that has organized a couple of conferences around this theme at Berkeley and Stanford in the last few years. I will try to do some catching up on the issue and post anything cool I find.
