Joel on software suggests that the number one rule of writing good specifications is to Be Funny. The whole point is to clearly communicate what is being built so that everyone gets what they want. Precision and clarity are important, but a dazed and confused audience probably wont get it.  Several good links in this article on writing specifications, which I will be doing very soon.
