 > There are only a couple of places with a `WP Default Text` and
 everything else are explanations. If everything was pre-filled by both it
 could make more sense.

 > If we put the guidance texts inline we're going to have several million
 web sites out there with "in this section you should..." as their privacy
 notice.

 Right. This is on purpose :)
 1. How do you get all admins to edit their privacy policies before
 publishing them? It is much more likely to happen when there is text they
 will have to remove/delete.
 2. How do you show the tutorial text on the Edit Page screen, and where?
 It is too bulky to fit anywhere, I mean, we don't want another bigger box
 with a scrollbar above or below the editor. Even if we add one, the user
 will never be able to see all three boxes (the editor, the policy text
 postbox, and that box with the tutorial. So it will be very very
 inconvenient to edit the policy and look at the tutorial at the same time.

 HTML if possible.

 OK, lets try that. Hoping the out of context strings won't be a big
 problem.
