Not to worry. The plan outlined above is self-defeating. If I flip through a book labeled "For use with the 4th edition of the most popular FRPG" and find all this terminology that doesn't match the standard terms in D&D
4e, will I think it is compatible with D&D? Some might. Others won't.
The real trick is finding OGC sources for the real
4e terms and that can only get you 80-90% of the way there. It's bad enough that you could not use the block format used by
WotC (that is certainly trade dress they would defend). But once you start modifying or substituting terms, you have problems.
