To me, a style guide is a _GUIDE_, not a _LAW_.
So for cases that are not covered, do something sensible in the spirit
of the guide.

(what also may help is ask yourself the question whether you really want
 to do something that doesn't fit the style guide. In many cases,
 doing something outside 'normal' is an indication that there are
 alternative (better?) solutions.)
