Perhaps I'm living in Utopia, but most of the time the term "technical
writer" works quite well for me too. It's much easier for me to do *one*
thing (explain, on rare occasions, what a technical writer is) than to do
*two* things (1. develop a new term, and 2. spend even more time explaining
what that new term means).
