Marketplace Solutions Catalog Copy Guidlines

Hi CDN,

I'm trying to create some new copy for our product entry.
 
Do you have anywhere best practice guidelines as to what you expect in each section.
(apologies if I have just missed it)
 
For example, the 'features' section would you expect a bulleted list of
features here or a more wordy description of features?  Or in the details
section would this be written around the more 'technical' details or be an
expansion of 'description' copy?
 
In the Phase 1 walkthrough webinar you have used bulleted lists in the majority
of copy sections (other than the summary) and I want to make sure we follow the
right style guidelines before working on said copy.
