Right, I realize there's no autoresponder in the Everything engine, and I realize that it's a simple matter to send mail from Perl.

I guess it just seems to me that because of the fact that there isn't any such autoresponder and that Fearless Leader hasn't indicated that any such functionality is going to be added, you might be putting the cart before the horse, worrying about the wording of the document. Then again, I'm also of the opinion that a /msg to the new user with a link to a node with this same information would be more useful and less intrusive than sending them email.
