Did you look at the NumPy guidelines Ralf posted?: http://projects.scipy.org/numpy/wiki/CodingStyleGuidelines Those look very clean to me, and fairly similar to what we already do in the ReST docs. Because epydoc works with tags rather than sections, it looks a lot "noisier" to me when reading the plain text version.
