I think, it would be important to first collect every possible style element in the wild and document what people are using in reality. That would be interesting. I'm not too much in favour of a style

guides, don't use them. But it is really not useful to squelch other
people's efforts, especially when you don't even have an intention of
using this stuff.
I really cannot see where you got the impression that I'm squelching Luke's suggestion, when I briefly expressed a certain personal scepticism regarding style guides in two sentences of currently three much longer mails in this thread, which I considered to be constructive, at least as brainstorming fodder or to give some motivations on how and why my personal style evolved the way it did.
