Note that there are two diferent types of documentation in this thread:

- "C++11 features we can/should use in Qt"
- "code formatting style and such"

For the C++11 features doc we definitely want it pegged to a branch, so when 
you checkout qtbase 5.X you know what you can use.

For the code style doc I guess you're right, since it's orthogonal to 
versioning.
