I don't think we would ever consider replacing "parentheses" with "round brackets". Also, we have long talked about "curly braces" though the braces/brackets choice is a little loose. Also note that greater-than or less-than have established usage (see the html entities or unicode code point name for example).

I appreciate that. Thanks for the suggestion, but we'll decline a wholesale search and replace mission. If an individual case of known confusion arises, we can take a look at it, but for now we have no evidence that the current docs are causing confusion for end users.
