I like the example, it pretty much says it all (43 chars though).   

What about suffixes or prefixes like R_for_procedures (or _R), or P_for 
packages, I did not catch Steve mentioning Packages and Package declarations in 
the paper?  (btw I don't believe tables need a prefix or suffix).

I do like what Steve says about avoiding 'get' with regards to a function.

The most important thing is consistency by a defined coding standard
that everyone must follow.  I don't even think it's because it makes
the code more readable (though it does) but more because it saves so
much time not having to think about what and how to call stuff.
Developers should spend more time on the actual logic than whether or
not to use CamelCaseWhichIsAnnoyingAsHellWithLongNames or
easy_to_read_names.

An old friend and colleague (who I know is a lurker here:) turned our
old team onto a document very much like this:

Make amendments to fit your taste.  For me it made all the difference
in the world.
