Interesting. Of course the notation you describe makes sense, but i would definitely avoid it because it seems to ambiguous to me. By the way, is it just me or are brackets (as opposed to parentheses) commonly used for indicating editorial elements? If so, i think that a bracketed octavation would mean a "reminder". That would make it easy to confuse the two meanings.
Anyway, i recommend rewording the description to make it interpretation-independent, i.e. something like "to put brackets or parentheses around octavation, just use brackets/parentheses in the code" without explaining what that could mean musically.
I don't see that we can get around defining what it should mean musically when we allow for absolute pitch entry and generate Midi.
Well, i think that the explanation which Marc had put there ("The pitches are displayed as if the numeric argument were given without parentheses/brackets.") should suffice. So, LGTM. Janek http://codereview.appspot.com/6830043/
