I think colloquialisms are an issue (and it's one of those issues we share with internationalization/language translation), but again, I don't think they are most efficiently solved in angle brackets by the provider. 3.3 (Write clearly and simply) should encompass making an effort to avoid slang, cliches, and what have you. I think anything over and above that is more reasonable to do in the user agent. What's critical to explain to the writer is that they shouldn't assume that the reader has context, which is good advice for anyone writing for broad audiences. - m
