As for the italics, you mean the ones in the section headers? I don't see why that would be much of a bother--and there are not italics aside from those used for emphasis.
At any rate, the printer-friendly version that someone made (and is in the main post) is a pretty standard format.
Ouch, black on white is painful on the eyes. Dull colours are of my preference, but who am ?I to represent the community?
I like the idea of a poll as well.

I've made a series of mostly insignificant edits. Largely correcting mistakes, or adding very slight clarifications.
This is the first time I've read over the entirety of this guide in probably over two years, and I was struck by how differently I feel about many things, these days, and how much of the guide I would have left out, if I were to have written it today. I was never fully content with how it turned out, but at this point, I don't stand behind it very much at all. I don't necessarily think there is anything harmful in there, but they no longer feel like my words, and I would have written it much differently.
However, rewriting the guide entirely, to fit my standards today is just too large of a project at the moment, and I wouldn't count on me doing that.
I am by no means saying that I am against the use of this guide, and I don't know whether there are comprehensive guides out today that I would personally consider to be better. I am glad that so many people have found it to be so useful, and I hope that they continue to.

What if you rewrote it as a short guide with room for interpretation?

If I were to write a new one, it would be considerably shorter, but a large part of it would be the planning and pre-writing steps. That is the part that I am the most reluctant to do, at the moment. If I knew already exactly what I wanted to write, and how I would write it, I might just go ahead and do it.

Grammar error in guide.

Fixed. I'm surprised I never noticed that before in the other grammar edits.
