I guess you could assume it applies, but I don't think it's content can
really be applied to Documents.. Since it speaks specifically to code.

I don't have a problem fixing it, but it would be nice to have any other
rules layed out. Like the "No ascii art rule" (if it exists) or whatever
other style guidelines there are. For example the 80 line limit can't
apply to absolutely everything. I mean what about diagrams or /proc
output samples? Most of that is over 80 (way over).
