Comment (by DrewAPicture):

 Replying to [comment:18 F J Kaiser]:
 > So (Nacin), if we say ''"Users over IDEs every day of the week."'', then
 we should immediately deprecate all Template Tags that `echo` something
 directly and ban `&&`, `||` and `^` operators from every theme file. Or in
 general: Abandon everything that doesn't clearly speak out what is
 happening. To see what we'll be left with, take a look at the bogus
 `index.php`-code from above.

 Especially if every second case for a single rule is an edge case. I vote
 for dropping the "standard".

 This kind of hyperbole is unnecessary and doesn't advance the discussion
 at all. The coding standards are meant as a guide for for core, and as a
 suggested reference for everyone else.

 +1 to adding another section to the handbook as suggested by @kovshenin.
