Dan Goldstein proposed three good references, including: From the www.plainlanguage.gov guideline, "Writing Reader-Friendly Documents": "Use 'you' and other pronouns to speak directly to readers.">>

Good one! And that leads me to wonder (given that the anonymous poster is in Europe) whether there are any CE guidelines they can cite in their defence. I imagine there must be. Any European techwhirlers able to provide an opinion and a source simlar to the plain language site to support it?
