Yes, I was thinking about this too. Simply, if this is what halt the idea all 
together, leave it unspec'd. (However, it should be noted that it would be in 
my personal interest, because I, as many others, like braces on their own 
lines.)

The style paper could even explicitly say that how braces are formatted is per 
own taste, such that it doesn't appear vague, incomplete or invites 
programmers to invent their own rules in other areas as well.

Other than that I'm also in favor of a kdelibs-wide coding style. A long time 
ago I suggested the same to k-c-d but it too generated a traffic-peak. 
Hopefully, we'll get further this time.
