           Summary: check-webkit-style should somehow reference the style
                    guidelines themselves
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 528+ (Nightly build)
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: Minor
          Priority: P4
         Component: Tools / Tests
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
        ReportedBy: chris.jerdonek at gmail.com


Currently, there is no obvious way to tell whether each rule in the style
guideline is checked by check-webkit-style, and vice versa -- whether each rule
checked by check-webkit-style appears in the style guidelines.

Addressing this might involve labeling each rule in the HTML guidelines with a
visible or invisible identifier.  check-webkit-style could refer to these
identifiers.  A script like cpp_style_unittest.py could parse the HTML and
verify consistency.  This is similar in spirit to what cpp_style_unittest.py
currently does to verify the _ERROR_CATEGORIES in cpp_style.py.
