		<description><![CDATA[To my sometimes peculiar way of thinking, User Experience documentation is a lot like underpants. You can create an application or website without it, just like you can "go commando" or do your best Jean Harlow impersonation. It's faster (less to put on), cheaper (less to buy and launder), and there's a certain "pioneer spirit" that you only get with an unfinished basement. And sometimes there's a downside...which I won't bother to describe, because nobody needs to spend the rest of their day thinking about THAT.

True as all that may be, this article isn't really about underpants, or the risks of going native. It's about what happens when you inherit someone else's documentation.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=oxbyd.wordpress.com&amp;blog=7793722&amp;post=98&amp;subd=oxbyd&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
