<<My audience is engineers and technicians and developers around the
world, at least half of whom have English as their second or third
language. I've met a small handful who have visited us, over the years.
For the other 99.9%, I'll never meet them or correspond with them.

I'm not sure quite how I'd go about determining that some of them
are offended by white space and numbered lists (both of which I
shamelessly use in my docs).

I love this stuff. Remember the old motto? The best defense is a good
offense. Good thing I'm not a diplomat. I would cause an international
incident in about two seconds.
