On: Government Digital Service Design Principles

Great idea, lets hope it catches on. Unfortunately it seems like parts have been translated into 'trendy' - for example

> Government should only do what only government can do.

uh, what?

If you had continued to read the rest of that paragraph, you would have seen this:

> If someone else is doing it — link to it. If we can provide resources (like APIs) that will help other people build things — do that. We should concentrate on the irreducible core.

I had continued reading it, and I maintain that single sentences must make (at least logical) sense by themselves. This is marketing jargon trash, and should not be encouraged in a web standards document!

What is "trendy" about that? I don't see a single buzzword and the meaning is very clear to me.

OK we disagree, but let's hope the English language survives (though it seems the UK gov. isn't going to champion it).
