Dave, Does Susan have an email address (so we could copy her on the conversation)? As a suggestion, she could subscribe to this list and actively take part (or just lurk) - it's a public list, and she'd be quite welcome. Concrete suggestion to begin with: "Guidelines" are what you are trying to accomplish, and what (one / an application) should conform to; "Techniques" are specific tactics and strategies one follows (with a certain Authoring tool) to accomplish such conformance. Note that I'm not intending to criticize Macromedia here - I proposed looking at their effort precisely because I really think it's useful for developers!
