Those are good content guidelines...

My point was more to the format (which I do find important), and I
think we should *also* encourage some syntax in addition to semantics.
It makes more sense for Differential to not care about those stuff
(since it's project-specific) that for any project that uses
Differential.

I think we should have both guidelines, content and syntax, but not
enforce or codify them.

We could reuse that content, but not link directly, as we can never
tell when that page changes and our assumptions may not change in the
same direction.

cheers,
