A note on inclusive speech: "s/he," "he or she," "they," et al when
referring to a single person of ambiguous sex are all incorrect in
standard American English.  I don't make the rules, I just quote them.
Actually, I support them, as "he" is much less awkward than stylistic
variants.  There are some specialized styles, such as the American
Psychological Association, which insist on "he or she," but otherwise
this is incorrect.

And I don't think that these documents should require any TeX
knowledge at all, aka a normal ASCII text version should also be
included, as TeX really does require quite a bit of mastery, and uses
quite a bit of computer resources.
