Indeed ... and if horizontal teams are the ones hit the most by the
extra work, each project should help with that burden.  For example,
projects may need to take their responsibility for documentation more
seriously and require documentation with features (content at least, not
necessarily integration into the proper documentation deliverables)
instead of assuming it magically gets written later.
