This document combined with a couple of tips from David make a good set
of rules to follow. There are a couple things I think I'll adopt into
my personal style. However, I have to disagree with the use of
Hungarian notation. IDL is a weakly-typed, dynamic language and
enforcing Hungarian rules removes some of the benefits of such a
language. I don't have the time now to get into the details, but I see
it as more of a hindrance rather than a help.

Hungarian notation is not suited to weakly-typed dynamic languages such
as IDL, Python or Perl or object-oriented languages such as Java or C++.
Hungarian notation does have it's place in the strongly-typed
procedural languages like good ol' C. I actually use Hungarian notation
a lot when doing C -- it makes casting and variable type mistakes so
much easier to catch.
