History suggests that smaller steads are LESS specialized, concentrating on raising enough food for the inhabitants to survive on. This is in keeping with only large steads really having the extra labour to devote to additional luxury or speciality products (or crafts for that matter)
However, I think we're getting too wrapped up in details. I'd prefer to see some writing rather than endless word wrangling.
