new Style chapter, required homework

[Karsten Wade]

We finally got Paul's excellent work included in the Doc Guide.  This
style guideline is largely derived from the GNOME Documentation Style
Guide.  We have customized it, fixed some (!) errors, and generally
stood on the shoulders of giants.

Writers and especially editors should be thoroughly knowledgeable of
this:

And should be familiar with these or the concepts embodied there:

The Elements of Style, by William Strunk. Online version: 
http://bartleby.com/141/

The Chicago Manual of Style, by the University of Chicago Press. Online
version: 
http://www.chicagomanualofstyle.org/ 
        
Paradigm Online Writing Assistant, maintained by Chuck Guilford, Ph.D.
Online only: 
http://www.powa.org/ 
        
We'll work on following these guidelines throughout Fedora
documentation.  We will all continue to make the same mistakes, no
matter how experienced we are.  This is why we edit each others work and
have style guidelines to remind us of what and why.

cheers - Karsten
