Me too, but I don't think it will happen. :(

I agree, but the style guide says differently.

In a previous thread, however, there seems to have been agreement that  
discussions of style were religious and meaningless, so I suggest  
ignoring the style guide. <0.32 wink>

I would rather people not change things like this when making  
unrelated changes.
