Several individuals liked Maciej's proposed "meta-guidelines" describing when it's okay to consider changes to the WebKit style guidelines. See his post below and subsequent responses: https://lists.webkit.org/pipermail/webkit-dev/2009-December/010932.html Some people suggested including these points on the style guidelines page itself. This report is a placeholder for that suggestion. I also added some minor clarifying comments to his proposed wording: https://lists.webkit.org/pipermail/webkit-dev/2009-December/010942.html Finally, I also think it's worth clarifying somewhere on the page whether the guidelines are "rules" or "guidelines". I believe the answer is that the guidelines are "rules" -- though there is nothing stopping any of the rules from using the word "may," for example.
