Dear Brian and everybody,
this is a good reading indeed. Bonus points: it may be in the public
domain: it is a work of a U.S. governmental agency and contains a
statement that it is not subject to copyright, although it follows
a confusing statement for nongovernmental uses.
This guideline has been prepared for use by Federal agencies. It may be
used by nongovernmental organizations on a voluntary basis and is not subject
to copyright, though attribution is desired.
I have added the link to our wiki in its "Cloud" page.
Have a nice Sunday,
