I don't think that you can reach consensus on this, it's too much of the bikeshed and people will have violent preferences. The only rule I've ever heard for this sort of thing that has made sense to me was from A-level creative writing classes and it was: pick whichever one and stick to it. It's like the en-US thing — I don't think we need a rule, but it does help readability if editors are consistent inside of a given document. -- Robin Berjon - http://berjon.com/ - @robinberjon
