There is no need to refer to another "non-simple" variant *document*. The
"simplified language" document (radio program, ...) may be quite separate
from any other document (or radio program or whatever).

Going for "controlled language" I think is a non-starter for a general
variant (as requested). Very few languages will have any *controlled*
variant defined. Any variant tag for this will have to much more informal.
(I still think the A1-C2 levels in CEF may be of interest.)
