I would have thought it would be easier for non-native speakers, since
it has a precise meaning which I assumed we defined in a glossary (but
now I see that we don't, though that can be corrected). But of course,
I'm a native speaker (and AIUI, so are you), so perhaps we should wait
for somebody else to comment.

But I do agree that making sense to non-native speakers should be a
priority when phrasing things like this.
