Not formal, no. You're encouraged to use the style employed in the bulk of
the code, i.e. "Rickard style".

Correct.
I try to let people use their preferred indenting/bracing standard
(discussions on this topic tends to get religious and don't ever end), but
to me anything other than the above mentioned is unreadable so if I need to
read code to get something done, and it doesn't follow the above I usually
"fix it up" in the process.

Agree. I think I used tab chars in the beginning but now I only use spaces.
/Rickard
ps. And yes, I agree with your conclusions re: explicit package imports.
