For consistency: * don't use a colon between the SC number and its title - my main reason is that it looks somehow "stilted", and when used in a sentence it can end up "fighting" with the punctuation of the actual sentence (particularly when not part of a link), and just makes it harder to parse * don't just refer to SCs by number alone - (at least for first mentions in a document) this helps documents be more readable without assuming that the reader walks around remembering what each SC number is/what criterion it actually represents. It would be good to get something decided/officially mentioned in the style guide (particularly for the use of `:` or not) EDIT: normative changes split into #4947 --------- Co-authored-by: Kenneth G.
