Yes, you are correct.  I agree with you that the overly "chatty" tone
is not appropriate to this document (and what's more, could lead to a
greater change of this technical document being rejected by the W3C
membership).

I propose the following:  The creation of one or more "The ____'s
Guide to WCAG 2.0", where ____ is a noun such as "web developer",
"graphic artist", "policymaker", "young person", and so on.

I even volunteer to edit one or more of these annotated supporting
documents.

(This does not mean that our documents shouldn't be CLEAR and
SIMPLE -- Chaz and I both agree with that.  There is a difference
between "simple" and "chatty tone".)
