Depending on the task (on the aim of the software), one happens to split
from top to bottom, and to review and amend from bottom to top.
There is a navigation between the two.
Bottom to top is more easier because you are building more complicate
stuff from basic stuff.
But the definition of these elements (the software ortho normal base),
the justification of these elements can be in part, has to be in
part, a result of a top to bottom thought.
The general papers about Unix and Plan 9, the explanations of the logics
of the whole can not be, IMHO, tagged as "bottom to top". They are
simply to the point ;)
