I don't think any stylistic data should be added.Metadata should not modify the document in any way, it should onlydescribe the document or add additional things to it.
From the spec scrolls:
The format is line-oriented, and a satisfactory rendering can be achieved with a single pass of a document, processing each line independently.
Having stylistic info ~kinda (it's possible to argue it doesn't)breaks this definition.Enforcing putting the metadata at the end of the file (slightly) helpsto avoid this.
I suppose this could be a slippery slope though.
Let's try to avoid falling down the cliff.
