The "Leave space between name and *" is confusing.  Does 'name'
refer to the type or variable.  I hope Michael was not recommending:

        char * p;

How about saying:

        Do not leave a space between a * and the following
        variable name, nor between multiple *, when used
        to declare pointers:

                char *p;
                struct foo **bar;
