I think much of the reason you don't see much discussion of minimalism
as a practice in technical writing is that that the core principles
have been standard practice in technical writing for many years now.
I was taught Nurnberg when I got a technical writing degree -- 25
years ago -- and it wasn't considered a big revolutionary idea even
then.
