One think that Paul Sandoz suggested recently is that we should have a 
NB template that folks can use to avoid some discussions/debates on 
styles. It would be great for someone to run with that, the hard part is 
of course that it will be impossible to get agreement. Personally I find 
NB's defaults okay but there are several cases where its indenting is 
horrible.

Anyway, the main advice I think is to keep things locally consistent 
where possible. Also major refactoring or formatting in a bug fix is a 
royal pain for reviewers.
