I don't think we would ever consider replacing "parentheses" with "round 
brackets".  Also, we have long talked about "curly braces" though the 
braces/brackets choice is a little loose.  Also note that greater-than or 
less-than have established usage (see the html entities or unicode code point 
name for example).

I appreciate that.  Thanks for the suggestion, but we'll decline a wholesale 
search and replace mission.  If an individual case of known confusion arises, 
we can take a look at it, but for now we have no evidence that the current docs 
are causing confusion for end users.
