I suppose you refer to your earlier

and while I do not have the slightest problem with most of these I do
not understand what should happen to code I comment out.  If code I
intend to comment out contains a `...' should I automatically convert it
to '...' or should I leave it alone?

I'd prefer a sentence like

   Comments (excluding doc-strings written as comments and code that has
   been "commented out"), NEWS, PROBLEMS, DEBUG, commit log messages
   (thus the generated ChangeLog files), and any other form of plain-text
   documentation.

In the past I've been always trying hard to avoid the "anarchy" you
mention above and I still would like to get it right in the things I
write.
