So long as they are documented then developers shouldn't complain when their formatting changes. I just want to avoid a situation like now with Scooter's check-in which has a lot of formatting changes so the code changes are quite hard to pick out.

I've gone and started a page about conventions and have started a discussion. Once we are agreed on what should go into the conventions then they will migrate to the wiki page.
