you've decided to do works, what benefits you gain and what limitations
or drawbacks you've encountered by imposing these requirements on
yourselves (beyond the obvious reasons afforded by standards, e.g.
pgmr A can decipher what pgmr B was doing a lot quicker if they both
followed a common standard).

standards that I have found most useful are:
