Yes and no.
The requirements were reasonably stable until you came along with a pile of 
great ideas.  :)

Part of refining requirements involves developing a prototype which will flush 
out a number of the issues you don't understand of have not thought of.

However, I agree we need to capture the ideas from this discussion in the 
requirements.
We also need to update the design as we develop it, as it also explains to 
ourselves and future developers why we have chosen the design we are using.
