Meh.  I think it is a waste of time to worry about most of the style rules.
 Not to mention, style is such a nebulous term that it is borderline idiotic
to really try and codify it.  Imagine if you had a style for what prose
should read like.  This is what most people try to do with programming.  :)
 (I saw a good analogy with Jazz the other day.  Have you ever tried to
codify "good" music?)
