No strong opinion here. However, that makes me think we should
probably use guideline for the docs - here comes the question of which
convention to use when refering to the user. Do we address her
directly ("you"), indirectly ("the user", "her" - don't remember where
the "female user" use comes from, but we could maybe follow this),
even more indirectly ("one"), or any other way ?

Confusion induced by wiki markups, probably :(
