What is a blog ? Complete spec inside!

Wednesday, 14 August, Year 11 d.Tr. | Author: Mircea Popescu

As per billymg, find below the first draft of what aims to be a full and complete specification of the notion of a blog.

I expect this item may be changed over time ; but in any and all cases conformity between this and a blog is sufficient answer to "why does your blog do/not do X ?" inquiries.
