[Ilya Haykinson <haykinson@xxxxxxxxx>]

The Docs Team's style guide is aimed at a slightly different audience.
Content that they work on is:

 - task based, rather than an overview
 - aims to be complete, rather than to present a coherent story for a
beginner
 - is written in HTML, and not LaTeX

I certainly think that we should keep both in mind when writing, but some of
the advice our style guide offers is specific to the differences of our
workload from pure documentation.
