Do we have a document style guide?  The comments in Documentation/CodingStyle
apply to documentation text files also, AFAIK.  Maybe that needs to be
stated explicitly.

As for other docs that don't conform:  we typically don't go around just
fixing 80-column rule infractions, but when a file is being modified anyway,
we prefer that other parts of it also be updated.
