In theory the dlgs should be almost entirely consistent but if the
screenshots are annotated, or if in cases of substantial differentiation
both are presented as minimalistically as possibly, it doesn't matter.
And whoever's writing the documentation should use whatever is most
convenient and if another shot is necessary it can always be added later
by someone on the appropriate platform. Function over form, as dom said
in irc about the docs just last night.
If you have a specific instance to point out where the above 'policy' is
inadequate, I'd be more than happy to take a look at it with you and
draft a more comprehensive policy and add it to howtodocs.abw.
Thanks for bringing that up though
