I think that I do agree with both sides : but I think that you are right
in the longer term - it will be clear as it evolves that we will need to
cut down on the noise if sub-sections get active enough. In the shorter
term, the single list will be community-building.

I support the notion of standardization, but some of the Sun conventions
are just awful, particularly the bit about ending the method declaration
with a '{'
Futher, I like starting blocks with a { a la
if( foo )
{
<block>
}
I know it makes code 'big', but I personally find it easy to read, and
then if someone adds something, you don't get stuck with the bug
if(foo)
bar;
going to
if(foo)
woogie;
bar;
if they forget to add the braces, which can be a bear to find,
especially when groggy and tired :)
