I prefer a coding standards document that is divided up into hard and fast rules and guidelines and clearly states which is which. Otherwise, reviews can quickly degrade into arguments.

Can you give an example of hard and fast rule regarding coding standards? I'd assume people who learned programming by books - and even those who learned otherwise - wouldn't name variables after rock stars, but something not too obvious?

Sure. In the codebase for an 8-bit embedded system: recursion is forbidden.
