So perhaps it's just me, but that's an awful lot of elisp code for readers
to wade through; many of those readers will not be all that interested in
it.

Can I suggest an alternative?  Make a kernel-dot-emacs.txt in a form that
interested people can pull it (nearly) directly into their .emacs files,
then add a reference to the CodingStyle document.  That makes the stuff
available for interested developers without rubbing everybody's noses in
it.  Make sense?

Thanks,

jon
