Well, I've personally gotten used to their style - the tendency to use
black-and-white terms without much politeness. All these style guidelines
apply to the average situation. Art galleries, whether of images, music
or ascii art, generally aren't average in their area.
To offer an analogy, putting a 500kb animated GIF on a page isn't
considered good practice - unless the page is about animated GIFs.
Putting a FIGletized title on an ascii art page should be okay - putting
one on a company homepage might cause problems.

Sorry. Couldn't resist. :) Unfortunately, I have to agree with you. But
at least they're trying.
