I think not including the relative skill level is something of an issue.
You better have all the attributes associated with the skills memorized if you plan on raising them any.

I think if they needed to remove one number or the other between the absolute and relative skill level, it would have been more informative to say:
Broadsword-DX+2[8]
than
Broadsword-14[8]

Especially true for skills that float to other attributes often.
