I generally disagree with #5 (using some brainless "naming convention"
to distinguish types/variables/constants rather than simply naming them
appropriately for the job they do). But, as has been shown here numerous
times in the past, its a quite debatable point.
However, it might be a good idea to point out the more contraversial
points of your standard to your students, so that they are exposed to
the pro and con viewpoints. They still have to follow *your* standard in
class, of course. :-)
