I wrote my own indenter in EMACS for clojure 'cause I don't like the standard indentation of modern lisps. My indenter uses the "primitive" syntax-level indentation exemplified by the "Dream of a lifetime" code example from 1979 on this page. This is the ONE AND ONLY CORRECT INDENTATION STYLE for Lisp.

This is the ONE AND ONLY CORRECT INDENTATION STYLE for Lisp. Because the defining feature of Lisp is allowing only one way to do things?

  I thought the defining feature of Lisp was the meta-programming. Or am I missing some sarcasm?

    Yes, lemming's comment is sarcastic.

  More like arguing about the one right way to do things. And if no one agrees, write your OWN Lisp.
