Yeah, well, that's what you get.

The wikilawyers and trolls always want a codified set of rules on an issue, 
so they can subvert the spirit while adhering to the letter.  Fortunately, 
percentagewise,they don't account for a high proportion of Wikipedians. 
Most people can get by with some rough idea of what is expected, and the 
realisation that the system is relatively forgiving in the case of 
good-faith mistakes.  Do we codify 'relatively forgiving'?  Hell no.
