I think the idea of hiding globals within procedures by default has merit (but that may be a discussion for another day).

Consistency? I try very hard to use consistent names in my code.
For example, for almost every loop I code, I try to use Idx as the counter unless I need something very specific like idxCust or nested loops. Local variables in a procedure mean I never have to worry about stepping on globals.
Your subroutine may use only globals now, but next month???
