I can't say I've ever been restricted by a rigid standards document. I do however, attempt to use recommended/best practices for standards in my own code. For the most part I can also say that if others would do the same, it would make me more efficient when maintaining their code. As far as JavaScript, IMO jsLint is a wise tool to have and use for any project with more than two developers. But by all means, if someone thinks that it's not 'moving the needle', do a double blind study and show us the results. Somebody else, and what they believe worked best in their experience, doesn't really resonate with me unless I'm looking at some hard data that backs it up.
