It would carry more weight if typed in all caps.

Not sure of it is appropriate, but I like the idea. It's a nicer way of say RTFR.

I really like the section of the GP form in wintotal where you tell how many pages the report has.

I think it could be argued that no matter how much information you put in the report, some “intended users” will not understand… Maybe there should be cya that we are not responsible for the level of intelligence of some intended users.

I think Ray got busted for repeating that multiple times in his reports.

I am in the process of updating all of my textual templates for compliance with 2008-09 USPAP. As I do this, I always look for other areas of improvement. Currently, my Contingent and Limiting Conditions contain the language "The report is to be used only in its entirety," which is part of the "Confidentiality" sub-section. This could use a bit of beefing up and deserves it's own sub-section. Thank you, Greg.
