What Delphi coding standards document(s) do you follow?

Our company is looking at putting some better coding standards in place, to improve our code’s readability, reviewability, and maintainability. We’ve come across CodeGear’s “Object Pascal Style Guide”, but it hasn’t been touched in quite a while and I imagine a number of people have made some local improvements or additions. I’ve come across some published variations and other documents, which I will list, below.

NB: I do not want to start a style war. I just want to know what standards you follow, and why.

Thanks.

UPDATE: Well, the ‘JCL Delphi Language Style Guide’ seems to be the clear winner! Thanks!
