Misleading title:

"You may be interested to know that this document was originally written for internal use in the Operations department at Google. At the time, I was campaigning for the right to use Ruby on internal projects and I felt that a style and usage guide would probably assist in the battle for the language's acceptance, as the officially sanctioned languages at the time already had one. If nothing else, we'd at least all end up writing code that was easier to maintain. "

Title is missing the word "proposed".

The datestamp at the bottom reads: "Last modified: Tuesday, 14 November 2006"

Fair enough style guidelines, even if they were only proposed. Wouldn't mind seeing a more formal guide like this for the entire ruby community.

Here's a Ruby style guide by Chris Neukirchen (Rack author): http://github.com/chneukirchen/styleguide/blob/master/RUBY-S... . My fork: http://github.com/Pistos/styleguide/blob/master/RUBY-STYLE

Which is the one that says to omit parens unless required? :)
