You're right -- the flowcharts are above par.

But the very first chart in the PDF is troublesome because of negative language.

For example, "No privacy intrusive default settings in popups."

Does the X on Facebook mean "There are no privacy intrusive default settings in popups" or "There are privacy intrusive default settings in popups."

Double negatives are difficult; especially for non-native English speakers.

It's like when you see someone on HN write "it's not non-trivial." Just say if it's easy or hard. Don't bury yourself in confusing jargon.
