To be honest, I'm not sure that naming "guidelines" are mentioned in the official MAME FAQ, but it's never needed to be documented. First off, they've always been slightly in flux/judgement call, and secondly, anyone submitting documentation changes to update the descriptions usually know this already. And typically, users don't need to know because they often just play whatever the parent set is in my experience. I mean, you don't usually have someone working through every set of Tempest, for example.
