There are several issues here. (Get rid of tabs v. spaces for
instance.) In general it's just too complicated. Successful coding
guidelines are in my experience a line or two to explain each point,
and then an example or two.

Anyway, I read these, but quickly enough found out that the best
strategy was to just try to fit in with the existing code.

We should simplify them and make a more pretty site for them.
Something like [0], although that's a bit wordy for my taste.

Then we need to decide on how to "get there". E.g. do we enforce all
new files to follow it rigorously, but adhere to the dominating style
of the file you are changing? Do we change the function we are
modifying in a patch to adhere to the style? Do we just go through
everything all at once and fix it once and for all, like with tabs?
I'm not voting for any of them right now, but we need to consider them.
