When in doubt, KIS Sweetie. Any time I have _ever_ tried to be cool or
creative in my technical documentation some dang grump has found something
at which to take severe offense. I save those creative urges for writing
done outside of company time (for which I can incidentally claim copyright
and occasionally rewarding payments).

In all seriousness, the purpose and scope of technical communication is to
accurately convey information. No bells, whistles, creativity, or other
distractions. Sigh.
