I agree with Jason. Perhaps this is a nuance of English words. "Guideline" is a suggestion, and you aren't wrong if you choose not to follow it. If DWG is going to revert for not following a guideline, then it's policy. And should is a strong suggestion, much like guideline, while must specifies policy. So the key question for each guideline/policy is: is it ok for people not to follow it (if they think there's some reason why not following it is ok)? For things like document the import, mail to imports@, my sense is that no, it's not ok.
