Thanks for noticing that RMF is vendor-neutral!
I'm always afraid when people refer to it as
"the Sun style guide" that they are under the
impression that it's just the Sun internal style
guide published externally, although we went
to great pains to make it neutral, add more
industry-relevant content, and include examples
on all platforms.

Cheers,
