A justification for avoiding above would be useful. Is it because you don't want to make assumptions that people are reading things in a format that runs from top to bottom? For example, if someone is hearing it via a screen-reader, previous or preceding makes more sense than above?

Also, the first sentence says to avoid above for earlier but doesn't provide an example of that kind of misuse. I'm having a hard time coming up with one that isn't also prohibited by the second paragraph/sentence. Perhaps the first sentence is not needed?
