A lot of people miss that everything needs documented, even the things that customers don't see. I've seen a lot of things over the years that were implemented but their limitations were not documented. Tags were one thing in particular. The person that thought up the idea didn't specify out how long or how many tags should be implemented. The developer put some wildly huge field in place and didn't state what the field limitations were. So later when a few users shoved massive amounts of data in there other parts of the software that displayed information broke or had terrible performance.
