I'd like to follow up on an earlier suggestion to put together a 
style guide for manual.org based on Phil Rooke's 
Documentation_Standards.org.  The idea was to "translate" Phil's 
document to follow the change from .texi source to .org source.

I think it will prove useful to have design choices described 
together in one place.

I've copied Phil in case he objects to having his "Notes to myself 
..." document used in this way.

Any comments welcome.

All the best,
Tom
