This is my point: "use most rules, but not all".. and "I've been more 
conservative than X but I did not need to be". What I am seeing is that there 
is, in some collective form, a set of consistent rules (in the form of ranges) 
that are strongly enforced and yet not written down.

Let's write them all  down here and now, put them in some file for others to 
read and to refer to. Maybe even con someone to write a lint-like script for 
those rules.
