Hi Jesse - Welcome back -- great to see our styles guideline group chugging along. I'm voting for Kiwi spelling :-).
Jan, and John make important points about freedom in providing folk the space to be creative for their own teaching purposes. Fortunately this is something we can accommodate in the wiki model. I agree with Randy and Jan's suggestions for promoting consistency within the same document, course or open textbook.
