I don't have a preference for any particular term, just that terminology
should be defined and used in a consistent way throughout the spec, so
that if you grep the draft for "hidden" (or whatever) you can find out
what what it means, and you can easily find every place where it is
relevant. ("elegant variation" is a bad thing in technical writing.)

Great Orme Head to the Mull of Galloway: West 4, backing southwest 5 to 7,
veering west 4 to 6 later. Slight or moderate. Rain for a time, showers later.
Good, occasionally moderate.
