I know someone who's greatly dyslectic. He invented, tho, some kinda odd language he reads/writes perfectly. His characters really look alien, remember the movie Predator? Those kinda odd symbols. Once he lost his noteblock with all his writings, the police found it, but he had to explain at the police station what all those signs meant. :P The point is: someone may be blind for a seemingly normal thing (our language) but perfectly capable to read something, as weird as Martian language, of his own.

Same with code. I'm perfectly able to read my own code, and I'm barely able to read someone else's code. Black box method doesn't require one to be able to read code, it's only required to be able to understand the inputs and outputs of the 'machine'. I don't think one could ever really standardize things, but with encapsulated black boxes everyone should be able to survive.

I could tell you my standard rules, FD could tell you his standard rules, Grey Alien could tell you his own standard rules, Mark, Skid, Puki (puki?), H&K, ziggy, etc. etc. etc. I'm sure all are slightly different.
