Agreed, bug can lack nuance. We have subtypes for our bugs in our tracker and try to use them liberally. Generally spec defect (as opposed to code defect) is only used when someone closes a bug "by design", at which point you say the design is wrong.

I like that flow: open bug > close as by-design > reopen as spec-defect > change spec > re-implement new spec

  It's an effective way of putting power in the hands of people impacted, for better or for worse. I've certainly reopened "by design" bugs in areas I don't own because I think the design it wrong. Done with tact (and usually a note explaining/alerting the person) it generally goes over well.
