I'm native German. I never was in any English-speaking country in my 
life. Almost all my English media is from the USA. I'm not a tailor. Yet 
"bespoke" was familiar and instantly tells me what's important.
So I may just be one point on the map, but I am not sure your argument 
that it is "obscure" is valid, sorry.

That being said, let me add a package of "awwww"s for all the times an 
English native complains that he has to learn a new word to program. 
Take a portion and pass it along, would you? ;)

Apropos learning words: while searching for information if "bespoke" is 
really obscure (I found none in either direction) I stumbled upon some 
(I think) not-yet-mentioned possible options

* custom(i[zs]ed)?
* tailored
* idiosyncratic (uh, yeah!)

Yet my vote is with "bespoke". Short, informative, recognizable, and a 
nice balance of quirky and reasonable, just like so much else here.

Cheers,
