Description

Per https://github.com/servo/servo/issues/37022 we should be adding steps to relevant algorithms. This can be added to the style guide with some examples. Things to look out for:

  1. Are all steps listed, those unimplemented have a // TODO on the next line
  2. Steps ending with .
  3. If there is spec text that doesn't link to a particular step, is there a link where it can be found

Add examples covering complete step lists, TODO markers for unimplemented steps, sentence-ending periods, and links for specification text without a step link. Done means the style guide clearly documents all four checks.
