i'd just like to point out that i didn't write that bit of code (but 
neither did i correct it).

personally speaking, i'm not going to risk having patches vetoed because i 
try to correct the original author's coding style.

any committer who has the time and energy to fight is very welcome to 
correct the many deviations from the standards that you'll find in the 
commons (and in the other projects as well, no doubt).
