It's hard to tell which parts of the above guide would apply to
non-Inspector JS code because it has a bunch of Inspector specific
guidelines such as layering guides and references to
https://trac.webkit.org/browser/trunk/Source/WebInspectorUI/UserInterface/Views/Variables.css

We should probably extract the parts that matter into a separate MD
file or a section in the wiki page before we proceed with this
discussion.
