Well the interpretation I've provided was given to the BBA by legal counsel
and although not considered to be best practice was reluctantly agreed with
by the ICO.
As for what is intelligible to one person or another how far do you go
before you draw the line?

What use is the data controller's interpretation of 'intelligible'? If the
Subject doesn't find the data as provided 'intelligible', how can the
controller be said have fulfilled their obligations?
What is intelligible to the controller is not necessarily intelligible to
the recipient, and that's the person who wants to receive - and understand
- data relating to themselves.
