I think it is right as it is, there is a statement about who the uk.*
groups are for, it's probably in the docs you have downloaded and I
think you stated what the uk.* is about pretty well.

After having seen people with 150 line sigs in the comp.sys.mac groups I
think at least encouraging people to stick to basic netiquette like
putting trimmed quotes before fresh text and keeping sigs under 4 lines
should be mentioned and encouraged within the charter.

I think using excluded makes things a bit unclear, perhaps "for the
purposes of this charter; HTML and other forms of formatting markup are
treated as binaries and are therfore not acceptable in this group"?
