I was meaning the user guides not the style and writer guides. Just wasn't thinking temporarily.
I was thinking about spelling and punctuation usage issues. But thanks for the general fill-in.
If you're aiming at second-language English readers it won't be good if we have spelling and grammar differences in the range of documents forming the user guides. I guess that the ubiquity of American spelling in computer documents makes it the most recognisable standard (says he, spelling in the Australasian manner).
Thanks, Lin

By "this series of documents", do you mean the user guides we're writing or the style guide, writers' guide, and others?

We are assuming that many of the people reading the guides will have English as a second (or third) language, so we try to write in plain English and adhere to principles of international communication. Some details are given in the style guide and/or writers' guide.
