Kynn, Al, Wendy, Chas and all,
This is not a "final" example, but something to work with. We need
to ask the author to write clearly and simple as appropriate to the
content, as is appropriate for the widest audience, and as is appropriate
to the purpose of the site.
Perhaps if we state all three in the checkpoint, it can keep any
one of them from becoming a "slippery slope" ...
"Write as clearly and simply as appropriate for the content, the widest
audience, and the purpose of the site."
