I actually took Ed's advice (and others' too). I originally used "verbal"
because I didn't want to get you guys riled up! ;^) For those that are
interested here is the language I went with:

"""Absence of Written Specifications

Often times work is performed where there is no documentation or written
specifications and authorizations to do the work are oral. In the event
there is no written specification both parties will agree on a release
version of the application as a benchmark of features and functionality.
The source code of the agreed upon version will be considered the basis for
future work on the project. All reports, forms and processes included in
the application's source code will be included in the scope of this
Agreement and be considered "agreed upon" by both parties."""
