[mapguide-internals] Coding Standards

[Kenneth Skovhede, GEOGRAF A/S]

What are the motivations for avoiding variable declaration inside the 
for loop construction?
I personally find it much cleaner to put it in there, because the 
variable is not accesible outside
the loop scope, which is usually not desireable.

The "i" variable is usually very local, and it makes sense to re-declare 
it for a loop following
another loop, rather than re-use it for another purpose.

(Hoping not to start a holy war on coding standards :)

The "finally" is actually not "always" executed, if there is an 
exception thrown in the exception handler.
(Its not a "how-to-program" guide, so that may not matter.)

Other than that, it looks good to me.
