And for the N'th time I will say: style is guideline and not a 
contract.  The day people arbitrarily change code simply because some 
cabal decided where spaces should go is the day people will stop 
contributing.  It's all fine and well to make style consistent when 
you're working in an area of the code (and can verify your changes) but 
knob polishing is just code churn and in my experience is 
counter-productive.  Spend your time and effort on fixing real problems; 
god knows we've got enough of 'em...
