The problem may be that you specified "WWB". There is a newer diction, etc.
package out (can't remember the name though) that received some good press
when used in some high school or college remedial English classes.
Probably it has a new/different name, which is why the person you contacted
didn't make the connection. All I know about it is what I remember from
reading about it in an internal newsletter over a year ago [i.e. precious
little].
If someone else doesn't follow up with more specifics, send me a reminder
and I'll chase down the specifics for you.
