What passes, and what doesn't

["McLauchlan, Kevin" <Kevin -dot- McLauchlan -at- safenet-inc -dot- com>]

Would you use a sub-section title "Peaceful Coexistence" 
to head up a paragraph alerting buyers of the latest 
generation of a serious product that they can connect three 
different peripheral devices simultaneously?

The point, in context, is that previous generations would 
not have allowed that arrangement due to device/driver 
conflicts, and some customers might have the earlier 
versions of the product. Those who would actually WANT 
that config would be a tiny percentage of all customers.

The point of the question is that, while it is accurate 
and brief, the heading might appear to readers of 
a certain age as a mild attempt at humo[u]r. 

I run into this sort of thing more often than you 
might think (unless you read more of my posts than 
is strictly good for you). This one fell in my lap 
today, and I thought I'd ask of the general TW 
gang if it would pass muster in your situation.

Am I the only one who bites his tongue a lot while 
writing serious manuals and Help for serious product?

Yours in Detente, Komrades,

 - Kevin
