👍

To make this policy easy for new folks, I agree with Ryosuke that we should extract a JS and CSS style guide that is separate from Inspector-specific concerns.

For example, it should be a goal to follow inspector style for the JetStream harness code, and probably for all of ES6SampleBench. New JS tests in JavaScriptCore/tests/stress that we write ourselves probably should follow inspector style, because it's code that we have to read and understand and I can't think of a reason not to be consistent. Thoughts?
