What you (and Tom, and others, I'm sure, too) are describing would, in my words, be summed up as a 14th point (or a sub-point of Open Doors, as it appears to be a one-dimensional take on that point): Open Windows Users act as observers, but not participants, in this two-way mirror development process. By gazing in, users gain insight into (and possibly a connection to) an end-result or product as it is developed. Their feedback, however, is not integral to such a process, nor is it necessarily encouraged. Jack, great observation.

These are kind of like "Open Door," in that the process is "open" to users, but they may not provide the input: users are invited in as audience, but any contributions they make go through some other route. Tom Grant, Forrester, identified this model recently (http://bit.ly/elWXyY). Where would you place “transparency” models, like “open government,” in this spectrum?
