For what it's worth, another (unwritten on CVP?) caveat I think that might be used for rules pages, that is often written by authors, anyway, is namely something like '...other rules are as in orthodox chess'. I don't find that one particularly necessary, and I've seen many published rules pages (of varying ages) on CVP site where it has not been included (but might have been).
The Rules section on a rules page is often adequate, alone, at least for me, as there is the (written on CVP) assumption people know how to play chess, and unless the Rules section says otherwise, there is a good chance the author meant that 'other rules are as in orthodox chess', at least for square or rectangular board shapes. Even then, a stickler might say that chess never included Archbishop pieces and how they move, for example.
