Fine :)

That's a matter of education then. Developers should get acquainted with
the idea that feature announcements should be written such that they're
end user compatible ;-)

We could also agree on something like tagged sections, such as a
[technical]
blah here
[/technical]
would not be included in a compilation of feature announcements. Using
square brackets instead of angle brackets would prevent confusion with
HTML tags if the text is to be included in some HTML page like a wiki or
such. The EIS form could actively support that by offering two
textareas, one description for users, one technical.
