There is a difference between a convention and a standard. Conventions say 'most people are doing it this way', whereas standards say 'you must do it this way'.

Most differences between our code and the Java conventions are likely because the code was at first ported from C++, and people were familiar with that. In any case, there is nothing wrong with having a team standard different from normal conventions. The important part is that everyone working with the code knows what the standard is and sticks to it.
