It seems to me that most of what has been proposed is acceptable to most people, since there have only been significant objections to a very 
few items. One or two people have raised objections in principle, but they seem to be very much in the minority. It would therefore be perfectly 
possible, as has already been suggested, that the proposed coding style could be adopted minus the points of contention. This would still be a 
considerable step forward, and AFAICS would be acceptable to almost everybody. 

I don't see that it _has_ to be all or nothing.
