Respec'ing down could be done at the same speed as Spec'ing up. UO kind of did it this way.
Using Slamz above Examples, say each of those skills could max at 250. A "MAX" character could have 750pts in total, of a possible 1500 for the 6 skills.
"KewlD00d"
Sword skill 250
Armor skill 250
Medic skill 0
Evocation skill 250
Conjuring skill 0
Alchemy skill 0
KewlD00d goes around in full platemail and a 2-handed sword and E-Bolts everyone with his evocation skill. Then along comes the monthly content patch which adds a meteor summoning spell to Conjuration which can flatten entire groups of ghey RPers having tea parties. In order to Train up Conjuring, KewlD00d can just "flag" Evocation as his De-Spec skill. Now, as he trains Conjuring, the skills flip. Every +1 he gets with Conjuring, -1 is instantly subtracted from Evocation.
In this way, you can always Despec something you don't want anymore without making re-specing instant like a trainer just refunding your pts and you allocating them again (ala WOW).
