In a special Javadoc tag for each method or class. Example:
@checkstyle-results: The following is not okay with respect to 
                     coding standards bla bla bla...
@checkstyle-resolve-until: 2002-06-13

One month was just an example. However, since this is only style 
a rather long period is okay. If this annoys someone else than 
the author he can go a fix it himself.

Yes. But he must have the tools to check the style himself 
before checking his stuff in.

3 weeks should be okay. But not 3 days or 3 hours or so!


If we can do as outlined above, I vote +1.
