One reason to not allow wide margins and small indents.
There's that "allow" business again. I'm amazed you're not a pascal fan, what with all the rules you want to lay down on folk. Some rules are helpful; but more isn't always better. You can't force a programmer to generate good code by choosing the right coding standard. -- Bondage & Discipline Have Their Places.
