+1. I've met resistance on every front introducing formatting styles with our
small team of developers. We settled on a style that we could all work with,
and we've found it to be very beneficial to both us and our customers.
Especially considering the large amount of reuse that takes place. I admit,
it's a hard thing to get in the habit of doing, but once you get there, it's
second nature.
