And then later if you can make your students understand, that even the text in object boxes is a message to an internal receiver, they will have an easier time when they want to do some dynamic patching. I think, a style guide should take care not to over-regulate things. For example I'd rather start with making people properly left-align their patches and avoid crossing patch cords and use [trigger]s everywhere - this is very important to make patches readable and maintainable and generally learn to "think in Pd". But if at the end of an object tree there is a [s foo] or a [; foo $1( is not that important IMHO. People will get tired of typing lots of $-variables on their own. Nobody uses [; foo $1 $2 $3 $4 $5 $6 $7 $8 $9( anyway when a simple [s foo] is sufficient.
