My fear is that, as Don seems to be showing, people will oversimplify and miss the limitations. Getting people to think in terms of "modification" instead of "DFSG 3" seems useful.

Hmm, I think I missed the start of this thread, so maybe I'm missine something, but from what I see, the key question seems to be: is this

intended a teaching tool or a reference? If the former, then "getting people to think" is an issue. If the latter, then perhaps we can assume that people can already think.

If it's trying to be both, then I suspect it will be, of necessity, less than perfect in either role.
