We can use some naming convention, e.g. append "Id". But most IDEs can infer the type and show it (say, in a tooltip), right? Regarding code formatting, we must first agree on the formatting rules before applying some automatic code formatter. I'm not very happy with some automatic formatting, for instance deep indents for multiple nested method invocations tends to make line width very large quickly. Besides, I'm not sure at this point how detailed we want the formatting instructions to be.
