When they ask, what is this written in?

[Joe Lewis Wilkins]

Paul, Chipp, Jim, others:

Do I think we REALLY want our clients to know "how easy" Rev is in  
comparison with other development environments. Doing so raises their  
expectations much to much, whereas we're always optimistic at the  
outset and need the extra time we've saved to smooth out the problems  
that are pretty inevitable in ever endeavor. IMHO, let our performance  
speak for itself and explain as little as necessary to get the work.

I don't feel this is being deceptive; just pragmatic. But, they're not  
stupid either, so chose a name for the language that can't be  
informationally googled by anyone. I'd go for RR+++. It's not there or  
anywhere, but could be explained if the need ever REALLY arose. Note  
the third plus sign!
