Quick glance, this guide looks more like a "morality" guide than a "legal" guide. What one should/should not do versus what can/can't be done.
@FurryGuy: what do you think the word "guidelines" means??

@LB,

I have seen the term used, by supposed experts in their field, to mean either a "should do" or "can do" guide. Hence my comment.
