I'm hoping that we can move the styleguide into the wiki at
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DocumentationTeam/StyleGuide, although it
still needs some work on it to tidy up some of the problems caused by
importing it from xml. We should probably chunk it into different
subpages too.

You'd also have the problem of licensing - the style guide is public
domain so you can't just copy copyrighted material into it.
