We had that discussion once on Commons, and many people liked the
underscore convention.

Maybe that's what needs changing.. I'd suggest:
"All Java source code _should_ follow the existing conventions
established by that project's committers. Projects are strongly
encouraged to follow the "Code Conventions for the Java Programming
Language" as published by Sun."
Perhaps adding:
"Projects whose coding conventions deviate from the Sun standard must
document the changes, with justifications."
Simply because justifications are always fun to read :)
