Code style

I'd like to open a discussion about the code style used for the CiviCRM WordPress plugin. At present, the plugin (loosely) conforms to Drupal/CiviCRM code style conventions. Is this what we want?

Pros: CiviCRM devs are used to space-indentation and compact code style

Cons: WordPress devs may be put off from contributing by the current code style

My personal opinion: I work almost exclusively with CiviCRM in WordPress. I'm comfortable with CiviCRM code style conventions for Core, but I would prefer if the WordPress plugin conformed to WordPress code style. Because it's a WordPress plugin.

Thoughts anyone?
