While I still see the appeal of corners in principle, this is a ton of explanation for those of us who already are well versed in dance. For the objections stated, I don't see using corners is feasible replacement terms. And I don't see restricting dances to ones not requiring role/position terms as viable outside one night stands.
And with that, I don't think I have more to add that wouldn't be repeating myself.
