There are some occasional incompatibilities between standards relating to syntax, for instance the AP style book does not utilize the Oxford comma syntax, while the Chicago Manual of style does. Using one when the other is called for can result in parsing errors, therefore it is preferred to stick to one standard.
And regarding:
...English follows a Write Once, Read Anywhere, Then Rewrite (WORATR) philosophy....
It is often said that writing is rewriting, as such I would assert that the English dev environment follows a "write/rewrite, post, and read" paradigm (WRPAR, commonly pronounced 'warper' or 'werper', depending on regional dialects).
I already have a pull request #12 and I could add these as commits if you like...
