It looked pretty explicit to me:

	The golden rule of indentation
	...
	you will do fairly well if you just remember a single rule:
	Code which is part of some expression should be indented 
	further in than the beginning of that expression (even if
	the expression is not the leftmost element of the line).

This means for example that
	f (g x
	    y
	    z)
is OK but
	f (g x
	y z)
is not.
