According to wikipedia 
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Struct_(C_programming_language) ), one of the 
main objections is namespace-pollution:

/* Example for namespace clash */
 
typedef struct account { float balance; } account;
struct account account; /* possible */
account account; /* error */

... hence the idiom of appending _t to the typedeffed name, I guess.

Cheers,
