  == Quick Guideline Thoughts ==
  A writing style in translation should be provided as a document metadata. There are no “absolute” values for this type of attribute, and each language and user could have its own values, which should be defined in schema. For example, a user might want to specify generic style guide names to specify writing styles as following: 
  
+ '''[[CL-''' If I understood Tim correctly, he suspects that a "non-controlled" set of values for style may not be of great help.''']]'''
