Yes, defensive publications have a few great properties:
- They don't need the horrible slang used for writing patents
- They don't need to impress academic reviewers
- You don't really need to "prove" novelty or relevance
Then, it is just about the ideas, and describing them.

Defensive publications will encourage writing stuff that is objective,  
precise and concise. Much nicer to read that patents, and easier to  
read than journal papers.
