It would probably be OK.  DML seems to be one of those terms of
art, not using it would seem odd to db geeks but they'd understand
what you're saying.  Using it is incomprehensible to the rest of
us.  So I'd vote for writing something non-experts can understand.

Experts don't need your docs anyway :)
