"Sun"  ?   ;-)

I thought it was agreed a long time ago that

jakarta.apache.org != Sun

and that

xml.apache.org != IBM

Every time I have seen a discussion about coding styles, it is never
with an altruistic bent.  No one ever says "I should change my coding
style to be more like yours."   No, it is always "You should change
your style to be more like mine."

If someone writes clean, elegant code, it doesn't really matter
if it's K&R style or Whitesmith's style.  If we had Michaelangelo
working here,  I really don't think that we would care if he were
using marble or alabaster,  the result would be magnificent enough.
