I would add to those two:
*Don't infringe copyrights
*No personal attacks, which Jimbo indicated could be grounds for a ban.

I agree that all other rules, such as naming conventions etc, shouldn't be 
regarded as unbreakable.  I would suggest calling the above 4 rules 
'policies' and the rest 'guidelines' to make the difference clearer.
