Hey, it was me who collected some mails from the list and from the
howto. This coding_standard in RFC is only a draft and starting point for
discussions. Once a descision is made (if ever), the things should go into the
howto. So far I understand this RFC directory....:-)

The examples in the manual should be more consistent and useful. A
draft styleguide alredy exists under phpdoc/RFC/coding_standards.
"officially" identation is not descided...... :-)
If the examples are more useful with identation everything it's ok,
why not?
The only thing to keep in mind is: there are some examples with very
long lines and ident everything (also <?php) could probably break the
layout.
What about starting with <?php at column 2 and ident everything else
with 4 spaces?
