>No, they simply are conventions making it easier to communicate and understand each others code. A 1 page coding standard picking which common conventions people use perhaps is making it easier to communicate, maybe. A 10 page coding standard with lots of positive manual actions a coder must do at ever step that don't necessarily add to the process (I'm looking at contracts in private functions and hungarian especially), or that are outdated and not state of the art, is positively soul-killing to many people. Most places need code reviews, not coding standards.
