i agree with that in your example, but what about para. 8 and 9, where we give example of "consistent translation of right to education" ?

	I've choosen "consistent" everywhere instead of "balanced". e.g. in the
	"guidelines" section, I've done that:
	"Recognizing that security measures should always be consistent with
	the right to privacy."
	If you remember the discussion we had withe Cedric from EPIC, some
	months ago, we've said that "balanced" is a term always used by
	governements (and other actors) to mean in fact any thing they want.
	Using "consistent" helps asserting that the right to privacy must be
	respected when establishing security measures (in this example).
