It's the first time I see that document, but 'exit' is already defined
under the section 'quit' and there's a rationale for when to use Exit and
when Quit. I assumed the differences came from developer preferences
only, but apparently they do not.

This shows that the style guide and the human interface guide should be
closely coupled IMHO.
