   If the specification of D is perfectly unambiguous there is no point   
   to say "specifies to its decider". If D specifies a halting behaviour   
   it specifies it both to its normal execution environment and to every   
   decider, otherwise it specifies non-halting behaviour both to its   
   normal execution environment and its decider. If it specifies one   
   behaviour to one and a diffetent behaviour to the other then it is   
   ambiguous. Becauyse that is what the words mean.
