I've rewritten it to remove the need for the -noshared subpackage:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PackagingDrafts/StaticLibraryPolicy
In plain English:
When shared libraries exist, static libraries go into -static (whether
they have a shared library counterpart or not). Any packages which link
against static libraries must BuildRequire: the -static subpackage. If
(and only if) there are no shared libraries provided, then the static
libraries can go in -devel, but -devel must also provide -static.
It is worth noting that this draft is no longer significantly different
from the current policies, but is a clarification to try and eliminate
confusion.
