You have a point here, especially in a project such as MPlayer where
some developers only modify small areas of the code.
But I think the problem lies in files that are inconsistent with
themselves and mix several different styles. That is the worst of
both worlds IMHO.

For the documentation we are following a coding style and all the
contributors are happier with it than before. The problem of bloated
cvs logs/diffs can be addressed by strictly splitting off cosmetics
from "real" commits, like we do with the docs.
