Manual of Style?
Nah, it doesn't cover much beyond the basics - certainly not layout, colours, etc. And these days most of what gets added to it is fairly equivocal - "sometimes you should do this, but this is ok too".
There is no reason why this shouldn't change. The purpose of the manual of style is to prescribe a consistent style, and the proper way to do this on the web is to prescribe the use of semantic CSS classes.
