actually, that's a good separate point:
I dislike the PEAR coding standard's inflexibility. I _fully_ dig coding
standards, but that feels a little too "iron fisted" to me... who cares if
someone uses 4 spaces instead of a tab?
hopefully I'm not putting my foot in my mouth and have that somewhere in the
binarycloud code standard... maybe I should go look :)
