User comments I have heard recently range from "Huh!" to "could you please put that in English". Our group also seems to spend a fair amount of time and effort just agreeing on terms. Perhaps the real starting point is not Guidelines/Checkpoints/Techniques but Terms. (I recently spoke to a group of 'web designers' that had no idea what was meant by structural element markup - they actually thought that <h1> etc. was there to easily adjust fonts because that is what they has been told by 'instructors') Maybe we should have some suggested 'prerequiste reading' or link all terms to an expanded glossary.
