Did you know...
...TPS Reports are real?
IEEE 829 - Test Procedure Specification
The Test Procedures are developed from both the Test Design and the Test Case Specification. The document describes how the tester will physically run the test, the physical set-up required, and the procedure steps that need to be followed. The standard defines ten procedure steps that may be applied when running a test.

I see as main problem with such specs a scope problem. Spec writer try to assemble a document where everything which might play a role under certain circumstances are covered.
Now, if people who do real work with even realer time constraints takes such specs as practical guidelines, it won't work.
Because their code to be tested only needs to be tested against a subset of the spec. Everything else wastes time and clutters up test code & documentation.
