Hmm... Decades ago, when we wrote 20-page doc plans for projects, we
included those things that you've mentioned: doc types, structure of
them, format/header/footer requirements, reviewer rules, and much, much
more. So I do not think of any of that as "way outside standard tech
writing stuff." Now given today's "agile" world and the fact that we
largely work from checklists these days, especially in docs-as-code
environments where our "doc plans" are basically JIRA tickets, GitHub
issues, Trello cards and the like, yeah -- that sort of thing does
often fall through the cracks. But that doesn't mean that it's not
regular tech writing.
