Ermmm ... wasn't it you who said not to have discussions on apache-cvs a while
back?
Anyway...

Perhaps.

I'd agree, except that almost noone likes the style I prefer.

One thing I cannot bear is any style where the opening "{" doesn't align
(vertically) with the closing "}". Where does Bark-Lee stand on this?
Also, I'm a fan of Hungarian (as anyone who has read the Apache-SSL source will
have guessed) - I'd like to see that used.
If we do this, I insist on clear instructions on how to make Emacs do it ;-)
But, lets start this thread again on the RIGHT list!
Cheers,
Ben.
