...maybe something should also be said about the defined halving interval - 210 000 blocks - since that is how it is actually defined? The four year interval may not always hold true, especially if miner hash rate always increases, such that the block interval tracks slightly under 10 minutes.

@Burrito-Bazooka Sure; that seems like a sensible addition. I'll make the change today. (To be fair, we do say "approximately every 4 years".)
