[kde-guidelines] Style Guide Exceptions

Hi,

Since there's a new style guide in the works, i'm curious to know how 
exceptions to the rule are going to be handled. For example, Kopete has a 
multi-line input widget, and therefore uses Ctrl+Enter as the default for 
sending messages (as specified in the current style guide). This is, of 
course, configurable so that users can use Enter to send a message, however 
Enter makes a much more sensible default from a usability point of view 
(style guide be damned, so to speak).

So, to get to the point, how are exceptions to the rule in the style guide 
going to be handled, or is there not even a need to worry about this sort of 
thing for the new guidelines?


Thanks,
Matt
