What do you think about? Are colons really a need?
My recollection is that we kept colons around because, at the time, it was recommended for accessibility reasons-- e.g. see checklist item 10 at <http://www.usdoj.gov/crt/508/archive/oldsoftware.html>
I don't know if that's still true, and I'm sure we'll revisit it when we revisit the HIG. Either way, the most common advice regarding colons nowadays seems to be "decide whether to use them or not, and once you've started, don't change your mind".
So for that reason alone, I would favour following the HIG's guidance, until such time as we change our minds :)
