Proposed style guide
RE: Proposed style guide

Nah, no need.  The main context where you can't use an em dash is when you're using a longer dash to disambiguate, like "the non–anti-war crowd".

Ok, new rule: No umlauts may be used on native English words.  Metal dots, however, are allowed, but naturally have no phonetic value.  Mainly I was just reminded how much I hate The New Yorker's house style, which always causes a parse error for me.  If you like that style, please re-evaluate your choices in life.  Hyphens are fine, but without is fine too.
