Laws need diffs and refactoring.

I'd like unit tests too. Done in TDD fashion by the creators of the law, not the ad-hoc edge case finding of the precedent system.

This is why Programmers shouldn't be legislatures

Laws aren't clean enough for diffs.

refactoring isn't a bad idea but is quite difficult.

Laws aren't written and can't be written as exactly specified specs.

Laws are written to be interpreted loosely by human judges and applied to a bunch of difficult real world messiness. Not clearly defined interfaces and types.
