I'm extremely dubious - coding style is a religion, and you won't get general agreement. I've found if you write good code it's readable, whatever the style. And if you write useful (bug free) code, no-one will comment on the style.

If you really want a single style, here's my solution: Write more code than anyone else, and become the de-facto standard ;-).

I think it could be valuable for us (W3C WG?) to come up with a coding
standards for XQuery, so that when we look at XQuery code its all
formatted the same.

i.e. Where should braces go?

declare local:function($a, $b) {
   ()
};

or

declare local:function($a, $b)
{
   ()
};

i.e. Where should return statements go?

let $x = $y return
   $x

or

let $x = $y
return
   $x


I think you get the idea...

Hi,

I am looking for some tools/plugins which provides xquery coding style
check and suggest the xquery coding standards if not followed properly.

Just like Eclipse has plugins like “CheckStyle“ which gives warning if
  Java coding standards are not followed.

Sorry to post a 2nd time - there are eclipse plugins for XQuery, and
some editors have support for syntax checking in XQuery (e.g. OxygenXML,
and the GUI part of BaseX, to name a couple), in case that's what you
meant.
