+  // Omit the braces, since the body is simple and clearly associated with the if.
+  if (isa<FunctionDecl>(D))
+    handleFunctionDecl(D);

I believe this then has been particularly poorly enforced then.  Since the rule was unwritten, its enforcement across the codebase has been extremely inconsistent. 

For example, Clang has a number of if/else-if/else chains where braces are omitted JUST in the middle!

I would love for us (the community) to have a discussion to determine what the rule ACTUALLY is, but am not sure this part has been uniformly enforced sufficiently enough to put it in the text without discussion.
